This study compares gum and periodontal (gum-related) health between people with oral lichen planus (OLP, a chronic mouth condition affecting the tissue lining) and healthy volunteers without OLP. Researchers want to understand if OLP affects gum disease risk and severity.
This trial tests if combining a deep dental cleaning (periodontal treatment) with a corticosteroid medicine can help heal painful mouth sores from erosive oral lichen planus. It is for people who also have advanced gum disease.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help manage oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic mouth condition. You will be randomly assigned to either hypnotherapy or a session explaining how your mind and immune system interact. Your symptoms will be checked after 2, 6, and 12 weeks.
This trial tests two light-based treatments (photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy) and a steroid cream (clobetasol) for painful oral lichen planus. The goal is to see which treatment works best to reduce mouth sores and discomfort.
This trial tests a special mouthwash containing sodium hyaluronate and sh-oligopeptide-85 to see if it can ease symptoms of oral lichen planus, a chronic mouth condition that causes pain and sores. It may help people with active lesions who are not using other treatments.
This trial tests whether thyme honey can help manage oral lichen planus, a condition causing white patches or sores in the mouth. Participants will apply the honey to the affected areas.
