Excision of a lesion is necessary to remove abnormal growths or suspicious areas in the oral cavity. This procedure involves surgically removing the lesion with clear margins to ensure complete excision. Lesion removal is particularly useful for addressing conditions such as fibromas, papillomas, or precancerous lesions. The goal is to remove the lesion, reduce the risk of malignancy, and improve oral health.
Removing the lesion reduces the risk of malignancy and improves oral health, enabling the patient to maintain a healthy and functional oral cavity. By addressing abnormal growths promptly, the procedure prevents complications such as progression of disease, recurrence, or systemic spread. Additionally, it enhances the patient’s overall experience by providing reassurance and guidance during recovery.
Ensure proper margins to avoid recurrence or incomplete removal, including verifying the extent of excision using imaging or visual inspection. Use sterile instruments and local anesthesia to minimize discomfort and risks. Document the procedure thoroughly, including the size, location, and appearance of the lesion. Educate the patient on the importance of follow-up care and monitoring for recurrence.
