Once again I had to dust off the Gray's Anatomy only to not find Aminolevulinic Acid referenced. Found it elsewhere. Have you checked with Mayo Rochester? Perhaps the Oral and Maxillofacial Division? They likely could help you out with this. It may be an eight or so hour drive for you but likely worth it. Good luck.

Hello @hrhwilliam,
Thank-you, very much for checking. If you skim the JAMA article concerning this laser treatment, you will discover it has an extremely high success rate. It is surprising that none of the Dr's offices I have called (about seven different offices) have heard of it. Also, several people have written to this site concerning dysplasia, and this could help tremendously.
Thanks again, and I will do as you have kindly directed.
Best wishes.
