ABSTRACT

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory oral mucosa disease, which is closely related to immune deficiency. Triamcinolone acetonide is considered to be the drug of choice for treatment of OLP due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effects. However, long-term application of triamcinolone acetonide can produce a variety of adverse reactions, and it prone to rebound after discontinuation, which greatly hinders the clinical diagnosis and treatment of OLP. This article reviews the adverse reactions of triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of OLP and its coping strategies in order to provide some reference for the clinical treatment of OLP.
