Serum and salivary cytokines in patients with oral lichen planus treated with Photobiomodulation.

Objectives: To evaluate the serum and salivary levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10 in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) treated with Photobiomodulation (PBM) and clobetasol propionate 0.05%.

Material And Methods: Thirty-four OLP patients were randomized into two groups: Control (clobetasol propionate 0.

Photobiomodulation is effective in oral lichen planus: A randomized, controlled, double-blind study.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of photobiomodulation to that of topical clobetasol 0.05% in patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus (OLP).

Subjects: Thirty-four patients with symptomatic OLP were randomly allocated into two groups: (a) the Control group (n = 17), application of topical clobetasol propionate 0.

Efficacy of photobiomodulation on oral lichen planus: a protocol study for a double-blind, randomised controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is an idiopathic chronic mucocutaneous disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including white reticular patches, erosive/ulcerative and atrophic lesions, both associated with intense symptomatology. Topical corticosteroids are commonly used as standard therapy. However, patients frequently present relapses after the discontinuation of treatment as well as developing resistance to corticosteroid therapy.
