Abstract:
In this case report, we present a successful outcome of conservative treatment in a patient with oral mucosal necrosis. Quantitative Light induced Fluorescence (QLF) was used to evaluate progression and determine the medication period. Histology revealed microbiological differences between red fluorescing and non-fluorescing sites on QLF images. QLF technology could be widely used for detecting bacterial infections or necrotic lesions in oral and maxillofacial regions.
