Filter by:1. Compare the clinical efficacy of topical ginger extract versus triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% for symptomatic oral lichen planus (Primary Objective). 2. Investigate using immunohistochemical analysis the effect of the two different treatment modalities on FasL expression in oral lichen planus lesions (Secondary Objective).
According to recent research, microRNAs (miRNAs) may function as early disease indicators and contribute to the severity of a number of precancerous and malignant oral disorders. The aim of the present study, through a double-blind randomized controlled trial design, is to analyze in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) as a non-invasive approach the impact of topical clobetasol on miRNAs expression in subjects affected by oral lichen planus (OLP).
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin, mucous membranes,s and rarely scalp and nails. It is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. Traditional treatment for OLP is topical steroids commonly used to treat mild to moderately symptomatic lesions. Recent treatment modalities for oral lichen planus include micronutrients such as antioxidants including vitamin E that modify the immune system function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive oral systemic vitamin E therapy on salivary nitric oxide levels in patients with erosive oral lichen planus.
The aim of this study is to evaluate salivary expression of lncRNA DQ786243 as a potential marker for diagnosis of oral potentially malignant lesions compared to normal controls and its effect on salivary expression of miRNA146a.
On the basis of previous studies, a validation cohort will be established to explore the relationship between oral lichen planus and autoimmune thyroid diseases, and a disease efficacy prediction strategy can be formed.
This study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of plaque control intervention by home-use dual-light aPDT Lumoral -device as an adjunctive or alternative treatment to triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) mouth rinse or other topical corticosteroid treatment on the symptoms and clinical appearance of symptomatic gingival involvement of oral lichen planus (OLP).
Assessment The oncogenic potential of salivary microRNA-93 and microRNA-412-3p in oral lichen planus
Lichen planus is a common inflammatory (swelling and pain of tissue) disease in the general population that affects mostly the mouth although skin and genital areas can also be affected. It can cause considerable discomfort during activities such as eating, talking and tooth brushing and may impair sexual function with an overall deleterious impact on quality of life. There is also increased evidence of cancer in a subtype of lichen planus. Therefore, treatment is essential in these patients to control the symptoms and improve the quality of life. Locally applied steroids are the first line medicines used in the treatment of patients with lichen planus. This medicine can only control the symptoms, but cannot cure the disease. In addition, this treatment cannot be effective in all patients with lichen planus. This may be attributed to differences in host factors, mouth bacteria and individual host responses to bacteria. The exact cause of this disease is also unknown. New studies have shown changes in the balance of mouth bacteria and host responses to bacteria in patients with lichen planus. So the main purpose of our study is to identify clinical(age, gender, related medical conditions, oral health and the presence of deleterious habits like smoking and alcohol consumption), molecular(analysis of oral microbes and immune markers) and histological factors (change within tissue) associated with poor response in lichen planus patients undergoing treatment with locally applied steroid medicines. Overall, knowledge of these factors associated with disease progression is sparse, which limits progress in the realm of development of novel and personalised treatment strategies. In this study, we explore the individual and combined role of different markers in lichen planus for improving diagnosis, predicting disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
tacrolimus has been widely used as an immunosuppressant. the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tacrolimus 0.1 % in muco adhesive patch compared to tacrolimus or corticosteroids in paste forms for symptomatic oral lichen planus, and to investigate the effect of topical tacrolimus or corticosteroids on the expression of caspase-3 in oral lichen planus as an early marker of apoptosis using immunohistochemically analysis
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated disease affecting the oral mucosa. OLP presents with asymptomatic, lacelike white stripes and/or symptomatic red, ulcerated mucous membranes. Eating, drinking and oral hygiene procedures may be painful resulting in reduced quality of life (QOL). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new suggestion for OLP treatment PDT is a successful treatment mo- dality for premalignant and malignant diseases of head and neck,gastrointestinal tract, lung, and skin In this study, the effect of photodynamic therapy with topical corticosteroid in oral lichen planus patients was compared
