Brief Summary

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

The goal of applications of Low-Level Laser and Topical Steroid in the Management of Oral Lichen Planus is to learn if intervention can by relieve pain, decreasing inflammation, and facilitating tissue healing in20 patients who were suffering from erosive oral lichen planus. The main questions it aims to answer are which is better and more effective as treatment modality. The erosion size (mm2) measured on the first day and 4 weeks later. Oral Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire manipulated. Researchers will take Low-Level Laser and Topical Steroid in the Management of Oral Lichen Planus to see if it could be used as separate treatment option or as combination.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Out of all the researchers, only one had knowledge of the patients' assigned groups. Neither the therapies nor their efficacy was evaluated by this unblinded researcher. There was a lack of treatment blinding for patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Topical Steroid Therapy of Erosive oral lichen planus

topical application of 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide and photo biomodulation on erosive oral lichen planus, 3 times daily and a miconazole oral gel once daily, for 4 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

0.1% topical triamcinolone Acetonide preparation "Kenacourt-A Orabase"

Intervention Type DRUG

The patients were administered topical corticosteroids in the form of a 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide preparation (Kenacort TM 0.1% Abbott). The medication was to be used 3 times every day for 4 weeks or until the lesion has healed, whichever occurs first. After applying the gel, the patients were instructed not to consume any fluids or food for at least 1 hour. In addition, a topical antifungal treatment consisting of Miconazole oral gel at a concentration of 2% should be applied once a day for 4 weeks

Low-Level Laser Therapy of Erosive oral lichen planus

Photo biomodulation with laser therapy twice a week for 8 sessions over 4 weeks, utilizing a 980 nm diode laser with an output power of 300 mw.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

980 nm diode laser

Intervention Type DEVICE

First group (Group A) underwent PBM therapy using a 980 nm diode laser (elexxion nano dental laser with a flat top handpiece). The therapy included 8 sessions for 4 weeks, with 2 sessions conducted per week, all administered by the same operator. The energy was evenly distributed across all the mucosal lesions and the surrounding tissues within a 0.5 cm range using a spot-technique method with little overlap.
