Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The following questions will also be addressed:

1. Are the histological architectural tissue changes that take place in oral lichen planus quantifiable using computer based imaging, graph theory and fractal geometry principles? Quantification of these changes would allow the development of a tool to facilitate the accurate measurement of response to treatment.
2. What is the nature of such architectural changes and what are the differences with normal, dysplastic and neoplastic epithelia (the investigators have morphometrical data collected from previous research to allow such comparisons).
3. Is it possible to produce evidence-based statistical classification into established diagnostic classes using the proposed methodology? This would contribute towards making histopathological diagnosis more quantitative, reproducible and accurate.
4. Is it possible to automate such morphometrical analysis/classification? This would allow large data sets to be screened automatically in a shorter time frame and at lower cost than human based screening.
5. Is it possible to determine differences in genetics and gene expression of keratinocytes involved in Oral Lichen Planus compared to those of 'normal' tissue by using biopsy material and an in vitro model of oral lichen planus?
