Application of a Motivation–Behavioral Skills Protocol in Gingival Lichen Planus: A Short‐Term Study

Abstract

The application of an active prevention program in patients with gingival lichen planus is important because it offers benefits for periodontal health. However, more long-term studies are needed to confirm the results obtained.

Dental Implants in Patients with Oral Lichen Planus: A Cross‐Sectional Study

“…The reticular lesion is the most common form of OLP. It is often asymptomatic but the atrophic and ulcerative (erosive) forms of OLP can cause symptoms ranging from a burning sensation to severe pain 22 . In this study, discomfort was assessed by means of a VAS; levels of discomfort were found to be low perhaps because most of the patients had the reticular form of OLP.…”

Cost‐effectiveness of personalized plaque control for managing the gingival manifestations of oral lichen planus: a randomized controlled study

“…, Guiglia et al. , Lopez‐Jornet & Camacho‐Alonso ). Further, most guidelines and reviews have recommended that as part of the initial treatment the optimization of plaque control may prevent periodontal damage (Lo Russo et al.…”

Effects of oral healthcare motivation in patients with gingival oral lichen planus: A randomized controlled trial

“…Dental plaque may also exacerbate the condition, and clinical recommendations are consistent in promoting good oral hygiene. Nevertheless, very little evidence exists on the effectiveness of plaque control in OLP management because available data are mainly provided by case reports, case series and cohort studies (Guiglia et al, 2007;Holmstrup, Schiotz, & Westergaard, 1990;Lopez-Jornet & Camacho-Alonso, 2010;Salgado et al, 2013;Scattarella, Petruzzi, Ballini, Grassi, & Nardi, 2011). In 2015, Stone et al published a randomized controlled trial that demonstrated positive effects of plaque reduction in patients with gingival manifestation of OLP, with significant improvement in quality of life and in disease severity score (Stone, Heasman, Staines, & McCracken, 2015).…”
