Biomedical Scinece and Research Journals | Photodynamic Therapy for the Treatment of Oral HPV Lesion in a Patient with Oral Lichen Planus. A Case Report
Human papilloma viruses (HPVs) are a group of double-stranded DNA, that
cause different type of lesions, also on oral cavity. Lichen planus (LP)
is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease affecting the oral
cavity and skin. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment used in all
fields of
medicine, based on the interaction between a photosensitizer, the
appropriate wavelength, and oxygen. The reaction generates ROS in cells
that take
up the photosensitizer, causing cell death by necrosis or apoptosis.
Different parameters are described in the literature for PDT.
We would
like to
report a case of a patient with diagnosis of Oral lichen planus that
developed, and HPV lesion treated with a particular type of PDT. I have
not found
other cases of Photodynamic Therapy for the treatment of oral HPV
lesions, in the scientific literatureHuman papilloma viruses (HPVs) are a group of double-stranded
DNA. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered
the most common sexually transmitted infection. About 6 million
people are diagnosed each year and approximately 9.0- 13.0% of
the world population is already infected with the disease [2]. There
are a lot of subtypes of HPV (more than 120), and some of these
HPV plays a role in the pathogenesis of Head and Neck Squamous
Cell Carcinomas and Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Different types of HPV lesions could occur in oral cavity.
