The carbon dioxide laser has many advantageous characteristics. The edge of a laser irradiated wound is covered by only a thin layer of necrotic substances. Moreover, the irradiation is made without any physical damage to the remaining tissue.<BR>So if we can vaporize the superficial tissue of mucosal lesions, we will be able to treat leukoplakia, papilloma, and lichen planus.<BR>Before clinical application, we examined dog's tongue healing after defocused carbon dioxide laser irradiation. The irradiated tissues were dissected in order to examine by light and scanning electron microscopes with spot size 5 mm and output power 10-20W. We irradiated the lesions of leukoplakia, papilloma and lichen planus. As a result we think the carbon dioxide laser is useful to treat leukoplakia, papilloma and erosion type of lichen planus.
