    Studysummary In this study, autologous platelet concentrates and topical steroids similarly reduced lesion size, Thongprasom scale, and pain in oral lichen planus patients, suggesting autologous platelet concentrates as a potential alternative treatment. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    Autologous platelet concentrates and topical steroids both effectively reduced lesion size, Thongprasom scale scores, and pain in patients with oral lichen planus, with no statistically significant difference between the two treatments. Therefore, autologous platelet concentrates may serve as an alternative treatment to topical steroids.
