Abstract
Cryotherapy and laser are currently two of the most used techniques for non-surgical treatment of human papilloma virus that causes plantar warts.
The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate which of the two techniques mentioned above have a higher heal rate in the treatment of verruca plantar.
A bibliographic search was done in the scientific website PubMed, using the terms: “plantar wart”, “plantar verruca” and “plantar papilloma” combined with the following descriptors: “cryotherapy”, and “laser”. These descriptors encompass both, the unique treatments through these two techniques and the combination with others, such as the salicylic acid and photodynamic, narrowing the research to the period ranging from 1st January 2005 to October 2015.
The results obtained from the 19 articles which collect cure rates, show that regarding the treatment of verruca plantar, laser is therapeutically better compared to cryotherapy. Being Erbium Lasers YAG combined with photodynamic and Carbon dioxide lasers the treatment with the highest rates of cure.
Therefore, taking into account the rates of healing, the study shows the potential of laser against cryotherapy for the treatment of verruca plantar.
