AbstractFrom 1987 to 1990, there were 122 soldiers were treated with the CO2laser (Sharplan 1020) in the Laser Center of the Israel Defense Forces. A variety of benign oral lesions, vascular tumors, and other oral lesions were excised or vaporized. Twenty-four soldiers with impacted wisdom teeth and wide pericoronitis underwent operculectomy using the CO2laser. The CO2laser has the ability to perform accurate hemostasis surgery, with minimal postoperative pain and edema, and rapid healing, resulting in fast recovery without significant discomfort. These advantages are particularly important in the military since soldiers can return to their duties immediately after surgery.
