This study evaluates the therapeutic effectiveness of diode laser and photobiostimulation (PBS) in the treatment of an oral squamous papilloma in the lingual mucosa in a 69-year-old male. The patient was subjected to complete hematological examination, and all parameters were within normal limits. The kind of damage, accessibility, aesthetics, and possibility of bleeding all played a role in the choice of therapy. The lesion was totally excised using the diode laser, and PBS was applied to contribute to healing and reduction of bleeding and inflammation. The patient had no pain throughout this process, which was shown to be a fast and efficient method of therapy. After 30 days, the lesion was fully healed, and 1 year of follow-up has been completed positively with no recurrences. In conclusion, PBS promoted rapid healing and diode laser is an alternative in these types of oral lesions and a good substitute for traditional surgery.
