A descriptive and cross sectional study of 58 patients with oral squamous papilloma, assisted in the Stomatological Department of the Specialties Polyclinic from "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from February, 2008 to the same month of 2013, with the aim of evaluating the therapeutic results of the cryosurgery in these affected patients. For the removal of this disease, liquid nitrogen was applied due to its great coolant power. The evaluation of the cryosurgical treatment was established by measuring the freezing and unfreezing time, with prevalence of 20-30 seconds for the first one and 91-120 for second one. The repair and reepitelization of the oral tissues took place between the 7 and 14 days of having applied this therapeutic modality, which was advantageous as it is easily applied, it causes no trauma, it has neither risk nor complication and it is innocuous in the oral mucous
