- Abstract
Mucocele is a benign oral lesion related to salivary glands and their ducts. Most frequently seen on the lower lip, it is usually asymptomatic, unilateral; dome shaped and may vary in color based on its location. The primary causative factor is trauma to lower lip which causes injury to salivary gland and its duct. Treatment of mucocele involves its complete excision along with associated salivary gland acini. Over the past few years, use of lasers has gained popularity in dental field, especially in the treatment of various soft tissue lesions. We report a case series of four patients diagnosed with mucocele and treated for complete excision of the lesion with diode laser. Patients were recalled after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. In all the cases healing was uneventful, without scarring and with minimal or no postoperative discomfort. No recurrence was seen on follow up in all the cases.
