Effect of Laser and Sclerotic Agent in the Treatment of Oral Granuloma

Laser-treated group (test group): This group consisted of ten patients treated using diode lasers. The diode laser was operated in continuous wave mode with an output power of 3 W in contact mode to excise the pyogenic granuloma. The tip was moved around the base of the lesion in circles. The base of the lesion was cut precisely till the whole mass was entirely excised.

Sclerotherapy-treated group (control group): This group consisted of ten patients treated with injections of sclerosing agent. After anaesthetizing the surgical site with a local anesthetic agent, The lesion was injected with a 2.5% concentration until it leaked out from the surface, leading to necrosis and spontaneous detachment of the lesion.
