    TLDR Platelet-rich plasma is a safe and effective treatment for oral lichen planus.
    Oral lichen planus (OLP), an inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucosa, primarily impacts middle-aged women and, to a lesser extent, children. It can manifest in various forms, including ulcerative, erosive, hyperkeratotic, and reticular, causing discomfort, a burning sensation, pain, and quality of life changes. Traditional treatment methods for OLP often yield unsatisfactory results and high recurrence rates. However, the use of intralesional platelet-rich plasma, which contains a high concentration of growth factors that promote healing, has been found to be a safe and effective treatment modality for OLP.
