Abstract

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.

İdiopatik kırmızı lezyon: olgu serisi

Abstract

Periodontal hastalıkların tedavisinde ilk basamak, periodontal hastalıkların etiyolojisinde rol oynayan bakteri plağı ve diştaşlarının mekanik olarak uzaklaştırılması ve oral hijyenin sağlanmasıdır. Bazı oral hastalık durumlarında mekanik tedaviye ek olarak, çeşitli sebeplerle bazı ilaç ve kimyasal ajanlar kullanılabilmektedir. Kortikostreoidler; birçok hastalığın tedavisinde güçlü antiinflamatuar, antialerjik ve immünosupresif etkileri nedeniyle oral mukokütonoz hastalıklarda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Kortikosteroidlerin farklı kullanım şekilleri olsa da oral mukozal hastalıklarla ilişkili ağız lezyonlarının tedavisinde sıklıkla topikal formu tercih edilmektedir. Bu olgu serisinin amacı, konvansiyonel periodontal tedaviyi takiben iyileşmeyen dişetindeki kırmızı lezyonlara topikal kortikosteroid uygulamasının etkisini değerlendirmektir.
