Abstract

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is categorized as a chronic, vesiculobullous disease, often manifesting as painful oral vesicles and ulcerations. It is a cell-mediated immune condition of unknown etiology in which T lymphocytes accumulate beneath the epithelium of oral mucosa triggering differentiation of stratified squamous epithelium resulting in hyperkeratosis and erythema with or without ulceration.Currently, no definite cure has been introduced for lesions of OLP. Several treatment modalities have been trialed, primarily aimed at reducing the length and severity of symptomatic outbreaks.Conventionally, topical steroids are considered as first-line agents for the treatment of symptomatic active lesions often with suboptimal results. Other agents have been applied experimentally to overcome lesion resistant to topical steroids, including retinoids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil. These agents are accompanied by several serious side effects limiting their long-term use.Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recently introduced for the treatment of refractory OLP lesions to medical therapy. This technique applies a photosensitivity compound, selectively accumulated in target cells, followed by local irradiation of the lesions with visible light. The combination of above two nontoxic elements, in the presence of oxygen results in selective photodamage and cell death.Our goal is to review the results of the application of PDT in the treatment of certain OLP cases, with special consideration of its impact on patient’s quality of life, number, and duration of recurrences.This review study approves the utility of PDT in OLP cases, showing a significant decrease in healing time of lesions particularly in OLP patients with systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus.
