Because of its affinity for water-based tissues, carbon dioxide (CO ) laser has become an instrument of choice for treating oral mucosa conditions, ranging from inflammatory to malignant lesions. The aim of this work is to systematically evaluate the outcomes of laser surgery over a wide range of lesions, while providing a solid and reproducible protocol for CO laser surgery in the outpatient management of oral lesion. Seventy-eight patients underwent 92 laser outpatient procedures for treatment of a wide range of benign and malignant lesions.
