Effect of low-level laser therapy on oral keratinocytes exposed to bisphosphonate.

abstract：:The use of the CO(2) laser in the management of oral dysplastic lesions has become a more common practice. Very few studies have evaluated recurrence, residual disease malignant transformation, and overall outcome in patients undergoing such a procedure. In this prospective study, a total of 123 oral dysplastic lesion...
