Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: The study was designed to explore an effective method to control early scar after maxillofacial trauma and improve the satisfaction of clinical treatment. METHODS: Fifty skin lesions after maxillofacial trauma were divided into the experimental group and control group. Patients in the experimental group were treated with pulsed dye laser when taking out stitches, 15, 30 and 60 days later. Digital microscope photos were taken and lesion area was measured before and 3 months after laser irradiation. Adverse effects were recorded during and after each treatment as well. All patients were asked to rate their satisfaction at 3-month of follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 13.0 software package. RESULTS: The efficiency of the experimental group was 74% and 37 lesions were cured or significantly improved, while the efficiency rate was 22% in the control group. Area reduction of maxillofacial lesions before and after treatment between the two groups was significantly different (P<; 0.05). Patients in the experimental group were highly satisfied with the final outcomes. No severe adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Pulsed dye laser is safe and effective in inhibiting early scar following maxillofacial trauma .
