ABSTRACT
A randomized clinical trial is conducted to compare the efficacy of aloe vera gel and 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide in the management of symptomatic oral lichen planus. The study involved a sample of 30 patients (16 males and 14 females) diagnosed with oral lichen planus clinically and histopathologically, who were randomly allocated into two groups. Patients in Group A were administered Aloe vera gel, while those in Group B received 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide as a local application. After the treatment, the results obtained were statistically analyzed and tabulated. Research results indicate tha t applying Aloe vera topically is just as effective as using topical triamcinolone acetonide, suggesting that Aloe vera may be a preferable replacement due to its safety profile in comparison to 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide.
RESUMEN
Se llevó a cabo un ensayo clínico aleatorizado para comparar la eficacia del gel de aloe vera y el acetónido de triamcinolona al 0,1% en el tratamiento del liquen plano oral sintomático. El estudio involucró una muestra de 30 pacientes (16 hombres y 14 mujeres) diagnosticados clínica e histopatológicamente con liquen plano oral, que fueron asignados aleatoriamente en dos grupos. A los pacientes del grupo A se les administró gel de aloe vera, mientras que los del grupo B recibieron acetónido de triamcinolona al 0,1% como aplicación local. Después del tratamiento, los resultados obtenidos fueron analizados estadísticamente y tabulados. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la aplicación tópica de Aloe vera es tan efectiva como usar acetónido de triamcinolona tópico, lo que sugiere que el Aloe vera puede ser un reemplazo preferible debido a su perfil de seguridad en comparación con el acetónido de triamcinolona al 0,1%.
