OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the treatment of oral leukoplakia with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) lasers versus CO(2) lasers results in lower recurrence rates.
METHODS
Retrospective data were collected from the records of 30 patients (mean age 75.6 years) with 35 primary oral leukoplakia who
OBJECTIVE
The expression of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv3.4 was investigated in both oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and oral leucoplakias to establish its clinical significance during the development and progression of OSCC.
METHODS
Tissue specimens from 62 patients with oral
OBJECTIVE
Although the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser is versatile, the variability in laser parameters for laryngeal pathologies and the lack of clinical efficacy data remain problematic. We provide preliminary data regarding these parameters for benign lesion regression. In addition, we
To investigate the indications, efficacy, safety, and outcomes of potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser procedures for treatment of laryngeal disease.PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched for studies providing information about the HERG1 potassium channel plays a critical role in the cell proliferation.
HERG1 protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 62 patients with oral leukoplakias and 100 patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). HERG1 mRNA levels were assessed by real-time reverse
Although vocal fold (VF) leukoplakia is commonly treated with in-office laser, there is no data on its long-term effectiveness. This study hypothesizes that VF leukoplakia treated by serial in-office laser results in long-term disease control with maintenance of voice and minimal
Vocal fold leukoplakia, white plaque on the epithelium, has the potential for malignant transformation regardless of dysplasia grade. It is treated with different laser types (CO2 or angiolytic) and various techniques (vaporization, stripping, or excision); however, only a few studies OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the artificial dermis.
BACKGROUND
We have previously observed prolonged postoperative pain and bleeding in patients receiving potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser surgery for oral mucosal diseases.
METHODS
The
OBJECTIVE
Although office-based laser surgery applications for benign and premalignant lesions of the larynx are appealing, there are scant data on their complications and failures. We review office-based angiolytic laser surgery in patients with benign laryngeal pathology for rates of complication
Standard KTP laser (potassium titanyl phosphate) wavelength-specific protective eyewear often impairs visualization of tissue changes during laser treatment. This sometimes necessitates eyewear removal to evaluate tissue effects, which wastes time and poses safety concerns. The objective was to
BACKGROUND
White lesions in the oral cavity may be benign, pre-malignant or malignant. There are no signs and symptoms which can reliably predict whether a leukoplakia will undergo malignant change or not. Many systemic conditions appear initially in the oral cavity and prompt diagnosis and
With photoangiolytic lasers like KTP (Potassium-Titanyl-Phosphate, 532 nm) lasers or the new "blue" laser (445 nm), even the smallest vessels and capillaries within the vocal fold can be treated without destroying the covering epithelium. This enables effective treatment of benign and malignant sub-
