Managing aphthous ulcers: laser treatment applied



M Colvard and P Kuo
Department of Dental Hygiene, William Ralney Harper College, Palatine, Ill.

Carbon dioxide laser therapy was used to treat a minor form of the ulcer (canker sore); the laser therapy reduced or eliminated the pain and inflammation with normal wound healing.
