The effects of chronic local irritation have been seen commonly in the form of fibroma in children. Fibroma is one of the most common benign lesions of the oral cavity, results from reactive connective tissue hyperplasia caused by a chronic irritant.Treatment of choice of traumatic or irritational fibroma is surgical excision. The use of lasers in different dental procedures has become very common. The diode laser was introduced in dentistry since 1999. This case describes the use of diode laser for the excision of a rare fibroma. The procedure using the diode laser was safe, quick, with minimum postoperative discomfort and complications.
