Laser performance is a common surgical procedure in the field of oral surgery, implant dentistry, endodontic treatment and periodontic therapy as well. Fibroma excision is a procedure usually done for aesthetic and functional reasons. The role of laser surgery in the oral cavity is well established. The use of diode laser removing a fibroma is currently under investigation. The benefits of oral-laser surgery i.e., a relatively bloodless surgical and post-surgical course, minimal swelling and scarring and reduction of post-surgical pain are discussed. An interesting case of removal of a fibroma with a 808 nm diode laser is presented.} }
