Comparison of the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy and topical clobetasol in the treatment of oral lichen planus using fractal dimension analysis and lesion autofluorescence
Key Points
The research aims to compare the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy and topical clobetasol for treating oral lichen planus.
Utilized autofluorescence at specific wavelengths for assessment.
Applied fractal dimension analysis to evaluate lesion characteristics.
Assessed healing objectively compared to white light observations.
Autofluorescence exhibited greater accuracy in evaluating healing.
Fractal dimension analysis provided insights into the lesions.
Comparison highlighted differences in treatment effectiveness.
Abstract
The use of autofluorescence at 405 + 450 nm is an objective method of assessing healing, more accurate than observations under white light.
