Study summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand whether the combination of periodontal initial treatment under local anesthesia and glucocorticoids can improve the effectiveness of treatment for erosive oral lichen planus. It will also understand the safety of this treatment regimen.

This study is a single-center, parallel-group, randomized self-controlled trial. The researchers will compare the treatment of periodontal initial therapy combined with glucocorticoid therapy under local anesthesia with traditional glucocorticoid therapy to see if the treatment of periodontal initial therapy combined with glucocorticoid therapy under local anesthesia promotes the healing of erosive oral lichen planus.

Participants will:

One side received periodontal initial treatment combined with glucocorticoid under local anesthesia, while the other side received traditional glucocorticoid therapy Clinical examination at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment Note down the size of their erosion lesion area and periodontal clinical parameters

Inclusion criteria

  • Existence of erosive oral lichen planus that lasts for more than 2 months
  • Erosive lesions are located in the buccal mucosa and gingival buccal sulcus of the bilateral mandibular posterior teeth area
  • The erosive lesions are mild to moderate (single or multiple small area erosions; 3mm ≤ longest diameter ≤ 10mm; 9mm2 ≤ total area of erosions ≤ 100mm2), and the degree of erosion on both sides is similar (the difference in the size of erosion on both sides does not exceed ± 25%)
  • The plaque index in the area of erosive lesions is ≥ 3; Dental calculus index ≥ 2; Gingival index ≥ 2;
  • Accompanied by stage II-IV extensive periodontitis

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women, lactating women, or women planning to conceive during the trial period
  • Patients with coagulation dysfunction or other uncontrolled systemic diseases who cannot undergo periodontal treatment
  • Has undergone basic periodontal treatment within the past 6 months
  • Individuals with a history of allergy to local anesthetic drugs such as articaine
  • Individuals with to
  • Patients with lesion area erosion caused by trauma or chemical stimulation
  • Patients with mental disorders who are difficult to cooperate with treatment
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Experimental group

    In the experimental group, subjects will undergo periodontal initial treatment under local anesthesia combined with glucocorticoid local blockade therapy (such as triamcinolone acetonide injection), local use of triamcinolone acetonide ointment, and 1% sodium bicarbonate rinse (avoiding systemic use during visits) after baseline examination, while receiving the following professional oral hygiene guidance: Instructions and demonstrations for using manual toothbrushes Instructions and demonstrations for using dental floss or interdental brushes A periodontist with rich clinical experience will perform periodontal initial treatment under local anesthesia.

  • Active comparator
    Control group

    In the control group, participants will undergo routine glucocorticoid local blockade therapy (such as triamcinolone acetonide injection), local administration of triamcinolone acetonide ointment, and 1% sodium bicarbonate rinse (avoiding systemic medication during visits) after baseline examination, while receiving the following professional oral hygiene guidance: Instructions and demonstrations for using manual toothbrushes Instructions and demonstrations for using dental floss or interdental brushes Based on ethical considerations, all participants will receive full mouth periodontal initial treatment at the end of the trial.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The erosion area of oral lichen planus

    The erosion area of oral lichen planus

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. visual analogue scale

    Mark a horizontal line of 0-10cm on paper with a ruler, and determine the score in millimeters (mm). The score range is 0-100mm, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity

    Time frame: 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  2. Clinical score of oral lichen planus

    Time frame: 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  3. probing depth

    Time frame: 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  4. clinical attachment loss

    Time frame: 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  5. plaque index

    Time frame: 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  6. Full mouth bleeding scores

    Time frame: 4, 8, and 12 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. complication

    Infection, bleeding, liver and kidney damage, difficulty eating due to pain

    Time frame: 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2024; primary completion for Dec 2027, 36 months later.

Of 20 interventional studies with no phase under Lichen Planus, Oral, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 27. This study's planned 36 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 12, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
