“…Moreover, AV shows to breakdown bradykinin an inflammatory substance that induced the pain. [15] Regards to the pain there was decrease significantly in Australian AV after 4 weeks, while in Egyptian AV pain was decreased after 6 weeks. That is explained by that the pain is respond well to high concentration of AV.…”

Background: Aloe vera (AV) gels with different concentrations are available in the market. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of AV gel with two different concentrations in the treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP) compared with placebo. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 females suffering from the clinical signs and symptoms of OLP were grouped into Group (I) patients receiving AV gel divided into two subgroups, subgroup (A) received AV 70% concentration (7 patients) and subgroup)B) received AV 90% concentration (7 patients) and Group (II) control group received placebo (7 patients).Results: There was no statistically significant difference between ulcer sizes at all points of follow-up in Egyptian and Australian AV compared to placebo. The degree of change was higher in Egyptian than Australian AV regarding size, erythema, reticulation, and total area of lesion. However, there was no statistically significant difference between two types of treatment as regards all measured parameters (P > 0.05). Conclusions: AV gel whether Egyptian or Australian is statistically significantly more effective than placebo in inducing marked improvement clinically of OLP. Therefore, AV gel can be considered a safe alternative treatment for patients with OLP. Clinical Significance: AV gel can be considered a safe alternative treatment for patients with OLP.

“…vera has anti‐inflammatory effects via suppressing cyclooxygenase, analgesic effects, as well as liver protection, anticoagulant, anticarcinogenic, and antiinfectious effects (Mansourian et al, ). These effects appear to result from the decreased levels of prostaglandins and bradykinins, as well as effects on the immune system by reducing the release of histamine and leukocyte and increasing the release of cytokines and nitric oxide from macrophages (Monica & Monisha, ; Neena, Ganesh, Poornima, & Korishettar, ). Due to the efficacy of A .…”

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory and T cell‐mediated autoimmune disease in which the oral mucosa, tongue, and gingiva are involved. Different treatments have been suggested to reduce the symptoms of this disease. Currently, a common treatment for OLP is the use of corticosteroids as the gold standard, although they have considerable side effects. The chronicity of the disease needs the long‐term use of these drugs with ensuing side effects. Therefore, various studies have been done to find an alternative and effective treatment. The use of herbal medicine as an alternative therapy with antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties seems promising. Hence, this review study was done to summarize the efficiency of different herbal medicine in the treatment of OLP.

“…Aloevera plant grows in mineral rich soil, and thus is an excellent source of calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc. [5] Richard L Wynn in 2005,reported anti-inflammatory effect of aloevera extract (LDD) on periodontal tissues. [6] Since SRP alone cannot predictably eliminate these tissue invasive micro organisms, this clinical study compared the clinical and microbiological effect of Aloin gel, aloevera extract (LDD) as an adjunct to SRP in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.…”

Background: Scaling and root planing is the basic treatment modality for periodontal disease. However, mechanical treatment is limited by physical impediments and biochemical considerations. Herbal agents may be used as an adjunct to overcome limitations of mechanical therapy. Thus the aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of Aloin, (aloevera extract) as a local drug delivery (LDD). LDD was used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP). Study was aimed to compare the clinical and microbiological effect of Aloin on the levels of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.A comitans) in the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP). Methods: Thirty chronic generalized periodontitis patients with 90 sites were selected including both males and females in the age group of 25-55 years. Three groups were made, 30 sites in each group were assigned. Group A was treated with aloin alone as LDD. Group B was treated with SRP and Aloin, whereas Group C was treated with SRP alone. Plaque sample was collected on baseline, 15 th , 30 th day for quantitative and qualitative analysis of P.gingivalis and A.A comitans. Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in all clinical and microbiological variables, including plaque and gingival index. However greatest improvement was evident in Group B in terms of reduction in colony forming units(CFU) of P.gingivalis and A.A comitans. Conclusion: Aloin as LDD is a valuable adjunct to SRP in the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis.
