title: [Infralesional injections with triamcinolone-acetonide in the treatment of lichen rubber of the mouth mucosa].
abstract: Lichen planus of the buccal mucosa with its various clinical manifestations has proved to be much more resistant to general therapeutical means than the cutaneous lesions. Repeated infralesional (sub-mucosal) injections of triamcinolon-acetonid (Kenalon Volon in a 10 per cent suspension applied to 12 patients, 4 of them with erosive lesions, have revealed particular efficiency if given at 7 oder 14 day's intervals. After 2 to 6 injections, we could already observe positive results occurring faster with papular of reticular than with erosive forms of the disease. Slight relapses may occur after 4 to 6 months disappearing, however, after 1 to 2 injections. Provided that antiseptic measures are maintained, tamponade of the salivary orifices is applied and intravascular injection by aspiration control avoided, unexpected local and general sequelae will not occur. Most of the patients have been in ambulatory care.
