| Lichen planus is a prevalent chronic mucocutaneous condition, whose exact pathogenesis has not been elucidated yet and its standard treatment at present involves the use of local corticosteroids. Curcumin is a colored material extracted from Curcuma longa plant species and is used as an appetizer and for medical purposes. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and anti-cancerous properties. In the present study, the effect of mucoadhesive pastes containing curcumin and local corticosteroids was evaluated for the treatment of erosive lichen planus lesions. Materials and methods In this case‒control study, 40 patients with oral lichen planus were evaluated. Twenty patients, as the cases, were given mucoadhesive pates containing curcumin and 20 patients, as the controls, were given local corticosteroids. The lesion sizes were recorded in the first session and during the follow-up sessions. Pain severities were measured and recorded using the visual analogue scale (VAS) on the first session and during the follow-up sessions. Data were analyzed with SPSS 19, using Student's t-test and Mann–Whitney test. Data are significant P < 0.05. Results The lesion sizes, pain severities and changes in classification of the lesions exhibited significant differences at different follow-up sessions (weeks 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12) in the two groups (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the group treated with curcumin and the group treated with local corticosteroids (P > 0.05). Conclusion Curcumin was effective in the treatment of oral lichen planus lesions and resulted in decreases in lesion sizes, pain and burning sensation severities and changes in classification of the lesions without any complications. |
