📝Abstract

Oral Haematoma generally occurs in the oral cavity due to sharp teeth by accidental biting of the cheeks, lips, tongue, oral mucosa or any soft tissues. These vascular lesions sometimes could have a feeder artery or blood vessel which could hinder the treatment protocol. Laser tissue interaction is basically dependent on the wavelength of laser used and the chromophore within the host tissue which absorbs the laser light. hemosiderin and melanin predominantly as their chromophores. Hence shorter wavelength lasers such as Diode work very well in treatment of oral hematomas. Low level laser therapy or photobiomodulation works on the phenomena of light photons that are absorbed by cytochromes and porphyrins in the mitochondria of the cell thereby increasing cell respiration and transcription bringing about desired laser tissue interaction. This article highlights the use of diode lasers in the treatment of such oral hematomas.

KEYWORDS: Low level laser therapy, photobiomodulation, oral hematoma, Diode laser, phototherapy, vascular lesions.
