Brief Summary:
tacrolimus has been widely used as an immunosuppressant. the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tacrolimus 0.1 % in muco adhesive patch compared to tacrolimus or corticosteroids in paste forms for symptomatic oral lichen planus, and to investigate the effect of topical tacrolimus or corticosteroids on the expression of caspase-3 in oral lichen planus as an early marker of apoptosis using immunohistochemically analysis
Detailed Description:
thirty patients with erosive or atrophic OLP were randomly assigned into three equal groups to receive topical steroid ( triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%), four times per day ( Group 1), tacrolimus paste 0.1% four times per day ( Group 2) , and tacrolimus patch 2 times per day ( Group 3). all groups are given treatment for 8 weeks and 4 weeks follow up period without treatment. Photographs of the most severe lesion were taken ( marker lesion ) in each patient and analyzed for total ulcerative area (TUA), total atrophic area (TAA). patients were also assessed using clinical scores (CS) and visual analogue scale (VAS). pre treatment and post treatment specimens were immunohistochemically stained to detect expression of caspase-3.
