Limited mouth opening (LMO) is a frequent complication of systemic sclerosis (SS). Its management is complex and there are limited treatment options. We report four patients with SS and severe LMO [interincisal distance (IID) <30 mm] treated with pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Pulsed CO2 laser treatment of the white lips was performed after all patients had signed a written informed consent in the absence of alternative treatment. Treatment was carried out under locoregional anaesthesia using a Sharplan 30C CO2 laser in the Silk Touch® resurfacing mode. One to three laser sessions were performed at intervals of 8-12 months between sessions. Assessments were performed at 3 and 12 months with measurement of the IID using a ruler, calculation of the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) scale and global evaluation by the patients. Adverse events were also reported. In all four patients, an improvement in IID occurred 3 months after the first session with a mean gain of +5 mm (range: 2-7). At 12 months, a mean gain of +8.5 mm (range: 7-10) in IID was observed. The MHISS score decreased by a mean of -14 (range: 11-17). All patients showed improvement of lip flexibility or mouth opening, allowing better phonation and mastication and easier dental care. Adverse effects were transient erythema and/or dyschromia. CO2 laser appears to be effective and well tolerated in the improvement of LMO in SS.

Acne scars is framed after serious scenes of skin inflammation in high schooler and early grown-up years. A few treatment choices have been utilized for discouraged skin break out scars, for example, punch joining, punch extraction, fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and so on. In addition, Studies demonstrate that laser skin reemerging, for example, CO2 partial can viably treat discouraged skin inflammation scars. Huge advances have been made in the restorative utilization of the laser in the previous couple of decades. Numerous illnesses in the dermatological field are currently signs for laser treatment that meet all requirements for repayment by numerous national medical coverage frameworks. Among laser types, the fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser remains a significant framework for the dermatologist

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the treatment results of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser vaporisation in the well-defined cohort patients with oral leukoplakia. The group consisted of 20 patients. Before treatment, a clinical photograph and an incisional biopsy were performed in all the cases. Also, post treatment results were documented with clinical photographs. The mean follow-up period was 12 months. 18 out of 20 patients treated for cure (90%) achieved local control after one treatment. The remaining 2 patients required (10%) 2nd and 3rd vaporisations. The rate of malignant transformation after CO2 laser treatment is found to be 2.27% which is comparable to the other studies. CO2 laser vaporisation in the treatment of oral leukoplakia lesions is an excellent procedure in not only preventing the local recurrence and the malignant transformation but also in preventing the post-operative dysfunction. It is a time saving procedure with a negligible intra operative bleeding. The wound healing procedure after CO2 laser is extremely good causing the least post procedure morbidity.
