Abstract: Mucocele is a benign, mucus-containing cystic lesion with livid color and most frequently localized on the lower lip. This type of lesion is a result of an alteration of the minor salivary glands due to mucus accumulation, causing limited swelling. It is well surrounded from the adjoining tissue, forming a ball like structure above the mucosa. Aim: To highlight the benefits of the laser beam in comparison with the conventional methods for removal of mycotic cysts. The therapeutic procedure for this lesion is surgical removal with conventional or laser method – the method being used for removal of the cysts in our patients. After the laser removal of the mycotic cysts, we got great results, with almost none postoperative complications. The patients accepted the treatment without any prejudice and they were content with the procedure. The benefit of the laser beam for mucocele removal is seen in its complex anti inflammatory effect and the low comorbidity for the patients, contratry to the conventional method. The laser beam is a coherent, monochromatic, oriented and it can be transferred to thermal power, that is more frequently used nowadays in dentistry.
