Abstract
Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), an autoimmune disorder of unclear pathogenesis affects quality of life of affected individual. Intervention regimens are multiple and still evolving due to its resistance to recover and ability to recur. Platelet rich Plasma (PRP) is a newer, promising treatment modality tested by researchers because of its low cost and negligible adverse effects. Articles were retrieved from search engines of PubMed / Medline, Scopus and Web of Science which fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Cochrane risk of bias tool assessed quality of clinical studies and Joanna Briggs Institute for case reports. A total of 4 articles were included for the systematic review, of which 2 are clinical trials and 2 case reports. All cases were of erosive nature. PRP in case reports were administered when patients did not respond to conventional therapy. PRP demonstrated effective therapeutic benefit in regards to outcome of pain and lesion appearance. PRP can be considered as a potential alternative therapy in treating non-responsive OLP. Further studies are recommended to arrive at a definitive conclusion.
