BACKGROUND: Treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP) is a major challenge for clinicians and patients. There is limited scientific evidence about topical treatment with retinoids. We conducted a literature review of data on the effectiveness and safety of topical retinoids in OLP patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched the MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases for articles on topical retinoids treatment on OLP patients (searches from 1970 to February 2012).
RESULTS: Sixteen studies (280 OLP patients topically treated with different classes of retinoids) met the inclusion criteria. Isotretinoin was the most frequently employed retinoid in the treatment of OLP. The clinical and/or histopathological efficacy of retinoids was recorded in the majority of the selected studies. A transient and moderate burning sensation was the most frequently reported side effect.
CONCLUSIONS: Topical retinoids appear as an alternative choice in OLP treatment. Whether keratotic OLP better responds to topical retinoids than erosive OLP is still an open question that deserves further comparative and controlled clinical trials. The benefits and harms of using topical retinoids in people with OLP require thorough evaluation in properly designed controlled studies.
