Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).

Detailed Description

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

A double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of topical clobetasol on GCF miRNAs expression in subjects with OLP and determine the statistical significance of the outcome variables.

At least 60 patients with OLP, randomly allocated in two groups: placebo group with a 4% hydroxyethyl cellulose adhesive gel and the clobetasol group with the same gel containing clobetasol propionate 0,05%.
