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.

Direct immunofluorescence staining patterns compared between oral and cutaneous lichen planus.

This retrospective study performed to investigate direct immunofluorescence (DIF) findings in oral and cutaneous lichen planus (LP), and to identify any differences between them. There were 147 patients with a definite diagnosis of LP by clinical and histological criteria, with 87 (59.2%) oral and 60 (40.

Correlation of clinicopathological characteristics and direct immunofluorescence studies in oral lichenoid lesion in Thai patients.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between the clinicopathological characteristics, serum antinuclear antibody (ANA) and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) findings in oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesion (OLL).

Methods: Fifty three Thai patients with red and white lesions were divided into 3 groups: 17 cases of OLP, 19 cases of OLL and 17 cases of oral lichenoid drug reaction (OLDR), respectively. The medical records, photographs, histopathological evaluation and laboratory ANA and DIF results were analyzed.
