ABSTRACT
Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a recognized method in treating various conditions in dermatology, oncology, and gynecology. PDT involves introducing a substance called a photosensitizer into the patient's body, which accumulates in specific, targeted tissues. These tissues are then exposed to a light of a wavelength absorbed by the photosensitizer, leading to the release of cell-damaging factors from the photosensitizer within the targeted cells. Due to its effectiveness and good tolerance, PDT is used in treating both benign and malignant neoplasms, inflammatory diseases and autoimmune skin disorders.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the literature on the application of PDT on treating lesions in oral lichen planus (OLP).
Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted using the PubMed database with the following keywords: ‘lichen planus’, ‘oral lichen planus’, ‘photodynamic therapy’, ‘LP’, ‘OLP’, ‘PDT’, applying filters 'clinical trial' and 'randomized clinical trial'.
Conclusions: Photodynamic therapy is a promising method for treating oral mucosal lesions in LP. Clinical studies show comparable efficacy to topically applied steroids, with minimal reported adverse effects.
