Lichen Planus, What Types am I Treating?

Some patients complain that their quality of life is significantly altered by years of progressive lichen planus that is treated for years with little change in the progression of the lesions. Making some minor changes may have a huge implication in the quality of life for these patients. Sometimes a misdiagnosis enters the picture, and patients may see multiple providers for years before any change occurs. Only, to find out that they may need treatment for another mucosal disease instead of or in addition to lichen planus.

Join this interactive, live webinar for facts, statistics, new treatment modalities, current patient protocol and discussion on this important topic.

Course Description

Oral Pathology

Learn more about the various forms of lichen planus. Patients may have several types of lesions and sometimes it is difficult to know what treatment modalities to use, how to monitor them and what patient education should be provided. Home care for patients becomes extremely important in total patient care. Learn more about new treatment modalities on the horizon with current information from the World Workshop 2022 on Oral Lichen Planus. Some treatment modalities will be presented with new information from patient care rendered in other countries that we are learning more about.
