Background: Standard Surgical treatment in Oral &Maxillofacial surgeries for various hard and soft tissue lesion using a scalpel, chisel mallet and bone cutting burs are accompanied by fear and pain for the patient. Although pain may be reduced by local anaesthesia, fear of the needle and suture placement remains a cause of discomfort. ErCrYSGG a hard and soft tissue laser is a rising treatment option which can provide more comfortable alternative or adjunctive method to conventional surgeries. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of ErCrYSGG laser in the field of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Methodology: In a clinical trial around 100 patient requiring minor surgical procedures for pre-prosthetic purpose ( mandibular tori, vestibuloplasty, gingival hyperplasia), orthodontic purpose(exposure of orthodontic band, frenectomy, tongue tie), precancerous lesions(OSMF, hyperkeratotic patch), benign lesions(fibroma, peripheral ossifying fibroma), salivary gland disorders( ranula, sialolithotomy), incisional and excisional biopsy, disinfection of wounds were treated using ErCrYSGG laser. They were evaluated on the basis of post operative pain, healing, patients comfort, recurrence, functional and aesthetic outcome. Result: All the patients were successfully manag to show advantages of bloodless surgical field, no post operative pain, relative speed and ease of execution. Conclusion: ErCrYSGG laser has proven to be an effective and alternative tool in the hands of surgeons providing best aesthetic and functional results in lesser time.
