ABSTRACT
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a painful chronic inflammatory condition, that is often resistant to many therapeutic approaches, including immunosuppressive agents. Topical tacrolimus has recently been recognized as a safe and effective remedy in the treatment of OLP. We, rerein, describe 3 patients with oral lichen planus, who showed a substantial improvement after the use of topical tacrolimus ointment (0.1%). This topical agent was well tolerated in all 3 patients and could be used an effective medicine in controlling oral lesions of lichen planus.
