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.
