In conjunction with the increased applicability of laser beams to areas of medicine and dentistry observed in recent years, a variety of laser apparatus have been developed. Often a new type of apparatus is specifically designed for a given physical region or for a given variety of lesions. In oral surgery in particular, a great deal of attention is now given to the contact head-equipped Nd-YAG laser system. The reason is that the contact head type provides light-hemorrhage incisions and better manipulability as opposed to the non-contact head type, which is less suited for use in this field since the oral cavity has such movable parts as the tongue and the oral floor in addition to its high vascularity and moisture from saliva.<BR>For the present report, a Nd-YAG laser system was installed for treatment of the oral surgery out-patients at the Saga Medical School Hospital. The number of subjects who underwent surgery there between April and October, 1986 totalled 31: 19 cases of benign tumor, 6 cases of cyst, 2 cases of keratotic lesion, and 4 cases of miscellaneous lesion. The contact head Nd-YAG laser system exhibited a high capability of incision and easy manipulability. Furthermore, in all cases, we applied no suture or surgical packing to incised parts, but observed good post-operative healing.<BR>In conclusion, with the development of the contact type of head, the Nd-YAG laser system has become applicable to more regions of the oral cavity and proved to be a useful surgical technology in oral surgery.
