Micronutrients in Management of Symptomatic Oral Lichen Planus

Oral Lichen Planus

Treatment of oral lichen planus is challenging. Diverse therapeutic modalities have been suggested, but a permanent cure is not yet available. In some OLP patients, topical corticosteroid alone is not sufficiently enough, thus it may require a supplementation to augment its effect. Micronutrients are gaining more attention as therapeutic modalities in immunologic disorders. Researchers are recommended to conduct further clinical studies are to assess the role of these elements in management of OLP (Gholizadeh & Sheykhbahaei, 2020). Among the less visited micronutrients are zinc and vitamin D. This trial will assess their role in management of OLP.

Treatment Modalities of Oral Lichen Planus

Oral Lichen Planus

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous autoimmune disease mainly affecting stratum basal of the epithelium. It is very painful and hamper the daily routine of patients e.g. (talking, drinking, eating, maintaining normal relationships). Different topical treatments have been tried for the symptomatic relief of OLP which include topical corticosteroids (TCSs), topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) retinoids, photochemotherapy; amitryptaline; thalidomide; amlexanox and traditional medicines such as curcumin, selenium-ACE combined with itraconazole, glycyrrhiza glabra and aloe vera. But the exact treatment is still unknown. Objective: To compare the efficacy of Dexamethasone, Doxycycline, Nystatin and Promethazine cocktail with Triamcinolone as topical treatment of OLP Subjects and Methods: 40 patients of symptomatic OLP will be randomly divided in to study and control group. Study group will be given a cocktail containing dexamethasone, doxycycline, nystatin and promethazine and will be advised to rinse with 1 and half teaspoon of this cocktail 3 times a day for 2 minutes for the period of 8 weeks. Study group is also advised to apply an orabase containing 0.1% triamcinolone on lesions 3 times a day for the period of 8 weeks. The control group will be advised to apply only triamcinolone orabase 3 times a day for 8 weeks.

Efficacy of Red Light in the Treatment of Pigmentary Disorders

MelasmaLichen Planus Pigmentosus1 more

Pigmentary disorders such as melasma, lichen planus pigmentosus and vitiligo can significantly affect patients' quality of life. Treatment responses are usually slow and typically have limited efficacy. In recent years, low level laser therapy has been an emerging treatment modality for androgenetic alopecia, acne, wound healing and photorejuvenation. This is a prospective, double-blind, split-body, randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of low level laser therapy with red light for pigmentary disorders such as, melasma, lichen planus pigmentosus and vitiligo.

Free Soft Tissue Graft in Treatment of Oral Lichen Planus

Oral Lichen Planus

Oral lichen planus is a common chronic mucocutaneous disease with various clinical forms. Erosive-ulcerative forms usually cause symptoms of pain and discomfort. The most important complication of OLP is development of oral squamous cell carcinoma, although this is a very controversial matter. various treatments have been suggested for OLP but their results are unsatisfactory. Through the experiences of the investigators, corticosteroids (in any form)is not a wise option for treating OLP and has many side effects . More over, immunosuppressive therapy did not influence the risk for oral cancer. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of free soft tissue graft in the treatment of precancerous and symptomatic lesions of OLP. Removal of the lesions up to submucosa has been done. The graft sliced from healthy mucosa also up to submucosa. Then graft will be sutured in position. According to other authors, basal epithelial layers of the graft remain intact and represent the focus of re-epithelization. New epithelial cells migrate over the basal membrane and appear to guide it by proliferation, will generate new epithelium. The wound is re-epithelialized by proliferation of surrounding healthy epithelial cell, therefore, not contaminated by modified antigens of the cell membrane that are theoretically responsible for lymphocyte aggression. The healthy graft remains free of lesions and appears clinically healthy.
