Comparison of the efficacy of resorptive and topical glucocorticoids in the treatment of oral red squamous lichen planus

Background. The effectiveness of resorptive and topical glucocorticoids in the treatment of lichen planus in the oral cavity was compared using a clinical case example. Materials and methods. Materials and methods. A clinical study was conducted at the Department of Dentistry of Mordovia State University Medical Institute, which involved two groups of patients, 10 people each aged 40 to 55 years, with an unencumbered medical history, with an identical clinical case. The effectiveness of local glucocorticoids “Sinaflan 0.025%” and resorptive action “Diprospan” was compared, the diagnosis was carried out by fluorescence stomatoscopy. Results. Resorptive glucocorticoid preparations showed a fairly good result in terms of reducing inflammation and destruction of the epithelium of the oral mucosa, but there was no tendency to regeneration and blood sugar was slightly increased. Local glucocorticoids also proved to be quite effective in the treatment of CLLR, the antiinflammatory effect was pronounced, but not as pronounced as that of general-acting drugs. Conclusions. The most appropriate therapy with corticosteroids for lichen planus of the oral mucosa in the practice of a dentist is local therapy, which is simpler and more effective in treating such diseases than systemic therapy.
