First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tested whether using a laser for oral biopsy in people with oral lichen planus leads to better healing and less discomfort than the standard punch scalpel method. 112 adults were randomly assigned to one of the two techniques. The goal was to see if the laser is at least as good as the scalpel, focusing on wound healing scores and patient comfort after the procedure.
