Introduction: Traumatic fibroma is a common benign reactive lesion of the oral mucosa that develops due to chronic irritation or trauma. The diode laser is increasingly being used as a minimally invasive tool for its excision.
Objective: To present a series of three clinically distinct cases of traumatic fibroma, successfully managed with diode laser excision.
Case Presentation: Three patients aged 12 to 63 years presented with intraoral soft tissue growths in different locations, clinically diagnosed as traumatic fibroma. Each lesion was excised using 810 nm diode laser after routine investigations. Postoperative healing was uneventful, and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis in two cases. One case initially suspected as lipoma was also confirmed to be a fibroma histologically.
Conclusion: Laser excision of traumatic fibroma offers a reliable, precise, and patient-friendly approach with minimal discomfort and excellent healing outcomes.
