They consisted of 23 male patients and 44 female patients, ranging from 7 to 89 years of age. Lesion size was classified for convenience into two groups (&lt;15\u2009mm or \u226515\u2009mm) for clinical analysis and evaluation. The lesions were located at sites including the lip, tongue, buccal mucosa, gingiva, mouth floor, and soft palate, and ranged in size from 3 to 42\u2009mm along the major axis. Fifty patients (74.6%) were treated on an outpatient basis, whereas 17 patients (25.4%) were treated in the hospital. All patients were treated using an Nd:YAG laser at an output of 8\u201315 W under local anesthesia.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    No patient developed serious complications from this treatment. However, it was necessary to irradiate the laser beam two or more times in cases of deep-seated lesions.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    We were able to obtain satisfactory results without clinical complications, using only external irradiation.
