  • Title: Surgery combined with copper wire implantation in the management of cavernous orofacial haemangiomas.
    Author: Ogunsalu C, Fray D, Lewis A.
    Journal: Aust Dent J; 2000 Mar; 45(1):55-60. PubMed ID: 10846275.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the management of a case of an extensive orofacial haemangioma by surgery combined with copper wire implantation. This technique of copper wire implantation in the management of orofacial haemangiomas was carried out for the first time in Jamaica by the authors. The use of percutaneous copper needles to induce therapeutic coagulation in cavernous haemangiomas, however, is not new, and this has been the basis of the use of copper wire.
