Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel treatment modality that produces local tissue necrosis with laser light after prior administration of a photosensitizing agent. We performed a study of topically applied 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in the photodynamic treatment of women with high-grade cervica
## Background and objectives: Our recent studies showed that a new topical 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (ala-pdt) protocol using a light-emitting diode (led) light source is an effective and successful treatment modality for five cases of oral verrucous hyperplasia (ovh) and
