A clinical evaluation of efficacy of photodynamic therapy in treatment of reticular oral lichen planus: A case series.

Background The aim of the study was to clinically evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in treatment of reticular oral lichen planus (OLP). Methods Fifty patients aged 26-84, with 124 OLP lesions in total, underwent photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated with topically applied 5% 5-aminolevulinic acid. ALA was activated by a custom-made diode lamp with a high-power LED emitting light at 630 nm and 300 mW delivered through an optical fiber probe.

A clinical evaluation of the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of erosive oral lichen planus: A case series.

Background: Erosive oral lichen planus (EOLP) poses a substantial risk of malignant transformation into squamous cell cancer. The absence of established treatment gives way to alternative therapeutic strategies, including photodynamic therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of PDT in the treatment of EOLP.

The assessment of the influence of vertical incisions on the aesthetic outcome of the Miller class I and II recession treatment: a split-mouth study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and aesthetic parameters following a connective tissue graft (CTG) combined with the modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF), or the coronally advanced flap combined with vertical incisions (CAF) in the treatment of Miller class I and II recessions.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with 99 recessions were treated in a split-mouth study model. The MCAF with CTG was used on the right side, while the CAF with CTG was applied on the left side.

Clinical evaluation of photodynamic therapy efficacy in the treatment of oral leukoplakia.

Background: The aim of the study was clinical evaluation of photodynamic therapy efficacy in the treatment of oral leukoplakia lesions.

Methods: Twenty-three consecutive patients aged 21-79 were included to the study. In all patients 44 homogeneous, flat leukoplakia lesions were clinically diagnosed and confirmed histopathologically.

Clinical assessment of the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of oral lichen planus.

The study objective was clinical assessment of the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP). There were 23 patients aged 31-82 included in the study with oral lichen planus diagnosed clinically and histopathologically. In all patients photodynamic therapy was performed with the use of chlorin e6 (Photolon(®)), containing 20 % chlorin e6 and 10 % dimethyl sulfoxide as a photosensitizer.
