Resumo: An 11-year-old male patient presented two erythematous macules on the upper gum, above the central incisors, after using maxillary expansion one year ago. Given the positive vitropressure the diagnostic hypothesis was a vascular lesion. Two different protocols using photocoagulation with a high potency 980 nm diode laser (Thera Lase Surgery, DMC, SP, Brazil) were chosen for the treatment. There were two lesions in the attached gum: in tooth 11 a 1W and continuous mode were used; whereas in tooth 21, a 2W and pulsed mode were used. Consequently, within 14 days, an ulcer was observed only in the region of the former, and after 30 days, there was complete remission of the lesions in both regions; a better appearance on the left side was observed, though. It is concluded that photocoagulation with a high potency diode laser is an effective option for oral vascular lesions, with pulsed mode being preferable.
