Medical treatments for pregnant patients with oral lichen planus.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory disorder that manifests as papular, reticular, or erosive lesions. OLP seriously affects a patient's quality of life, as it is associated with symptoms such as pain and a burning sensation. It is also accompanied by a risk of carcinogenic tendency. During pregnancy, the treatment will be more complicated because of the effect of medical treatment on both the mother and foetus. Thus, appropriate drugs for those pregnant patients will be more essential. This study aimed to review the safety of drugs used for the treatment of OLP during pregnancy and to establish an appropriate treatment plan for pregnant patients with OLP.
