Filter by:Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. In its oral variant, oral lichen planus (OLP) has a reported prevalence ranging from 0.5% to 2.2% in the general population. The disease typically occurs between the ages of 30 and 60. Although the pathogenetic mechanism and the triggering factor remain unknown, an immune-mediated pathogenesis and the role of factors such as stress, anxiety, diabetes, other autoimmune diseases, hypertension, intestinal pathologies, chronic liver diseases, hypercholesterolemia, infections have been hypothesized , contact with dental materials, tumors and genetic predisposition to cancer. Oral lichen planus is one of the potentially malignant disorders, showing a malignant transformation rate of 1.4%. A preliminary analysis conducted in our research center has shown a correlation between OLP and systemic tumors, both solid and haematological, involving areas not involved in lesions attributable to OLP. According to these data, the objective of the study is to evaluate whether there is an association between OLP and peripheral tumors, both solid and haematological. The primary objective will be to investigate the possible existence of a statistically significant association between OLP and the development of systemic oncological pathologies. Secondary objective will be to investigate the existence of an association between the various forms of OLP and specific oncological pathologies and to evaluate whether the presence of other systemic pathologies and lifestyle factors (diabetes, hypertension, chronic liver disease, smoking, alcohol, infection by HPV, HCV, etc ...) could influence such association (primary outcome). The objectives will be pursued through the analysis of data collected from the medical records of patients belonging to the General Dentistry and Orthodontic Outpatient Clinics at the "Agostino Gemelli" Teaching Hospital and in the Oral Pathology Outpatient Clinics of the other centers involved.
The objective of this study is to assess the effect of standardized scalp care, specifically mechanical cleansing with the Venus Glow™ Device and water, on the scalp microbiome. This study also seeks to characterize the microbiome of the normal, healthy scalp, thereby providing a baseline for which the scalp affected by hair and scalp disease can be compared.
Lichen planus, a chronic autoimmune mucocutaneous disorder, affects 0.5% to 2.2% of diverse populations. The treatment for oral lichen planus (OLP) includes a range of options, both topical and systemic therapies. Recent research has highlighted the potential of hyaluronic acid as a drug alternative, potentially offering effective management for OLP and alleviating the discomfort of this chronic condition. The objective was to assess the impact of topical hyaluronic acid on salivary oxidative stress markers in individuals suffering from oral lichen planus
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between the use of vitamin D supplement in conjunction with systemic steroids versus the use of systemic steroids alone in the management of patients with symptomatic Oral Lichen Planus lesions and the comparison of salivary Interferon gamma levels in both study groups before and after treatment
Aim: The current study targets linking serum and salivary dipeptidyl peptidase-4 with oral squamous cell carcinoma and comparing it with potentially malignant lesions and control to validate dipeptidyl peptidase-4 as a diagnostic marker for early detection of oral cancer and to reveal its possible role in carcinogenesis. Methodology: A total of 45 patients were recruited and subdivided into 2 groups: Group I: 15 patients having oral squamous cell carcinoma. Group II: 15 patients with potentially malignant lesions (leukoplakia and oral lichen planus) compared to 15 systemically healthy participants having no oral mucosal lesions acting as a control group (Group III). Serum and whole unstimulated salivary samples were collected from all participants to evaluate dipeptidyl peptidase level in different groups using enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) kit. ROC analysis was done to reveal area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of DPP-4 among different groups.
Lichen Planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disease and considered as T-cell mediated autoimmune disorder. Zinc is a potent antioxidant micronutrient that contributes to the proper functioning of the antioxidant defense system. In addition, this mineral protects cells against inflammation by oxidative stress, because it acts in the stabilization of cell membrane. It also maintains macrophage and neutrophil functions, natural killer cell activity, and complement activity. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-containing endopeptidases and have the main function of proteolytic degradation of connective tissue matrix proteins. Zinc prevents (MMP-1) activation and inhibition of the T-cell accumulation in (OLP) through inhibiting of (MMP-9). Aim of the study: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of adding oral zinc supplementation 50 mg to 0.1%Triamcinolone orabase (TA)versus 0.1%Triamcinolone orabase alone on the healing of erosive OLP.
To investigate the role of Vitamin D (VD) deficiency as a risk factor for the development and malignant transformation of Oral lichen planus (OLP) taking into consideration sex, dietary habits, sun exposure, socioeconomic status and psychological factors.
this study evaluates the effect of diode laser in treatment of oral lichen planus.
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.
