Abstract

Objectives. To systematize scientific information about the methods of treatment of lichen planus of the oral mucosa, presented in modern domestic and foreign literature.
 Methodology. The data of special literature were studied using scientific search library databases: Google Scholar, PubMed Central, Elibrary. The search for original scientific publications was carried out by keywords. This review includes an analysis of 48 scientific sources.
 Results. A review of the literature allowed us to identify a number of general principles for the treatment of lichen planus of the oral mucosa, to identify various drug and non-drug methods of treating lichen planus of the oral mucosa that have already been studied, used both locally and systemically, as well as a number of side effects that occur when using certain treatment methods, and, in this regard, to indicate the urgency of the problem and substantiate its practical significance, which is associated with the need to develop new, more effective, personalized methods of treating this disease.
 Conclusion. Despite the many methods of therapy of lichen planus of the oral mucosa that have already been studied, the treatment of this disease is currently an urgent problem for dentists and requires special attention. It should be borne in mind that there are certain contraindications to the use of various medicinal and non-medicinal methods of treating patients with a diagnosis of lichen planus of the oral mucosa, therefore, the question arises of finding new, more affordable and safe methods of treatment, especially in severe forms of the course of this disease.
