Recently, we modified laser surgery for superficial lesions in the oral cavity by using submucosal glycerol injection. This procedure was based on a technique for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the modified laser surgery assisted by a submucosal glycerol injection. Eleven superficial oral lesions in ten patients were treated with diode laser (continuous wave mode, 3 W) after a submucosal injection of glycerol solution. Injection of glycerol solution created mucosal expansion, which enabled the procedures to be done without bleeding, over cutting, over coagulation and unintended irradiation. The surface of the wounds showed little carbonization, resulting in good healing. Submucosal glycerol injection for laser treatment in the oral cavity is a promising technique for treating superficial oral lesions by virtue of less invasion and good results.
