Background: Mucocele is defined as a mucus filling cavity that can appear in the oral cavity. Children are most commonly affected with a clinical history of painless swelling and often with a history of recurrence. Electrocautery was chosen as a treatment to minimize postoperative discomfort, provide better vision during procedure, and to minimalize scarring. The purpose of this case report is to present the treatment of mucocele present on the lower lip in a Pediatric patient who was treated using electrocautery, the clinical outcomes, and also clinical advantages and disadvantages of electrocautery compared with various treatment options for the mucocele.
Case Report: A 15 years old female patient came to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital, with the chief complaint of swelling present in the lower lip. Based on the history and clinical features a provisional diagnosis of mucocele due to retained #83 was given. 
Case Management: The management of mucocele was by using electrocautery. The patient was recalled after 1 week with no post-operative discomfort reported and minimal scarring shown.
Discussion: Electrocautery is well received by patients, with a relative lack of discomfort, no bleeding, and minimal to no scarring after healing. 
Conclusion: There are various treatment options available for treating mucocele, but electrocautery is a valuable treatment of choice pertaining to reduced pain and minimal scarring.
