Abstract
Irritational fibroma is a common presentation on the lateral surfaces of the tongue due to irregular and sharp surfaces of the
dentition. It is a reactive lesion and is benign in nature. Irritational fibroma is well managed with conventional scalpel excision
techniques. Of all the techniques mentioned for excision of the lesion, laser is found to produce the best results in terms of
intraoperative bleeding, recurrence, scar formation and patient comfort. This case report presents the management of irritational
fibroma in a middle aged female patient with diode laser.
