The first step in the treatment of periodontal diseases is to mechanically remove plaque and dental calculus, which play a role in the etiology of periodontal diseases, and to establish oral hygiene. In some cases of oral diseases, some drugs and chemical agents can be used for various reasons in addition to mechanical treatment. Corticosteroids are frequently used in oral mucocutaneous diseases because of their strong anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and immunosuppressive effects in the treatment of many other diseases. Although there are different ways of using corticosteroids, the topical form is often preferred in the treatment of oral lesions associated with oral mucosal diseases. This case series aims to evaluate the effect of topical corticosteroid application on red lesions in the gingiva that do not heal with conventional periodontal treatment. |
