Topical corticosteroids in association with miconazole and chlorhexidine in the long‐term management of atrophic‐erosive oral lichen planus: a placebo‐controlled and comparative study between clobetasol and fluocinonide

Abstract

Our results suggest that a very potent topical corticosteroid such as clobetasol may control OLP in most cases, with no significant adrenal suppression or adverse effects. Moreover, a concomitant antimycotic treatment with miconazole gel and chlorhexidine mouthwashes is a useful and safe prophylaxis against oropharyngeal candidiasis.
