Minimally Invasive Management of Oral Squamous Papilloma in Pediatric Patient: A Rare Case Report.

Oral squamous papilloma (OSP) is a benign epithelial lesion caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), with rare occurrence in young pediatric patients. While traditional surgical excision remains the standard treatment, it can lead to discomfort, delayed healing, and potential scarring. Minimally invasive techniques, such as diode laser therapy, offer significant advantages in managing OSP, particularly in children. The present case is of a 6-year-old female patient, with a complaint of growth in the front tooth region in the oral cavity. A diagnosis of squamous papilloma was made, and the treatment was done by surgical excision using diode laser. With a 6-month follow-up, the patient is healthy with no recurrence of the lesion. The diode laser provides precise excision with minimal bleeding, reduced postoperative pain, faster healing, and excellent cosmetic results, making it a superior alternative to conventional methods in the pediatric population. This case report underscores the potential of diode laser therapy as an advanced, minimally invasive modality for managing OSP in children, offering both clinical and patient-centered benefits.
