The development and new achievements in technology have opened the gate to the laser application in dentistry. Diode laser numerically presents one of the most common types of laser, whoseuse in dentistry is limited only to the soft tissues. The Er,Cr:YSGG laser has demonstrated its capability in hard tissue and soft tissue applications. Because of various advantages in ablation, decontamination, and hemostasis, laser treatment has been expected to serve as an alternative or adjunct to conventional techniques. The purpose of this study is to present treatment of different clinical cases with diode and ER,CR:YSSG laser. Pathological masses were submitted for histopathological evaluation. The healing was uneventful without signs of pain or any other complaints from the patients themselves.
