A 2004 study by Deppe et al. highlights the effectiveness of CO₂ laser vaporization in treating premalignant oral lesions. The technique offers precise lesion removal with minimal tissue damage, reduced pain, and quicker healing. While recurrence rates vary based on lesion type and patient risk factors, CO₂ laser remains a reliable, minimally invasive option. Regular follow-up is key to detecting and managing potential recurrences.

Discover the cutting-edge world of laser applications in oral surgery and implant dentistry, as explored in a 2007 study by Deppe and Horch (Lasers in Medical Science). This research highlights how CO₂, Er:YAG, and diode lasers enhance precision in procedures like gingivectomy and implant uncovering, reducing bleeding and postoperative discomfort. Lasers also sterilize sites, lowering infection risks and promoting faster healing. While benefits are clear, success depends on s
