Background and Objectives: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic disease of uncertain origin. Many patients with OLP are refractory to all available therapies. The 308-nm excimer laser was used as a possible additional method in the treatment of OLP. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Eight patients with OLP were treated using the 308-nm UVB excimer laser. Results: Clinical improvement was achieved in six patients. Two patients showed complete remission, of which one patient showed recurrence of the lesions after 4 weeks. Conclusion: The preliminary results in our opinion warrant further studies of this treatment. (C) 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
