Oral leukoplakia is the most frequent potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa which requires definite treatment. A wide variety of medical and surgical treatment modalities have been endeavoured with varying degrees of success. Among various surgical treatments, laser techniques have helped improve surgical approaches and ultimate control of leukoplakia. The present case reports homogenous leukoplakia in an adult male treated successfully with diode laser and followed up for six months without any complications and recurrence.
