Effectiveness of removal of retention cysts with localization on the lips using dental diode laser

The article discusses the etiology, clinical picture, diagnosis and methods of treatment of retention cysts of the minor salivary glands using cutting instruments and a diode laser. Analysis of statistical data shows that retention cysts of the lower lip are the most common form among salivary gland cysts. In the process of surgical treatment of retention cysts using classical cutting instruments, a number of difficulties arise associated with the thin capsule covering the cyst, by breaking through and pouring out the contents, as a result of which complete removal of the cyst is impossible and the appearance of a possible relapse, swelling after such surgery can lead to complications of the nearby salivary glands. Therefore, in a comparative aspect, the effectiveness of laser thermal ablation and the use of adhesive balm (with magnetic polymers, hexethidine, cytylpyridinium chloride and hyaluronic acid) is shown. New possibilities in the treatment of this pathology with minimal risk of complications are presented.
