Bob,

What do you think about using an Erbium for non-erosive lichen planis? Can the lesions be eradicated by the shallow effect or would a Nd:Yag be better. This is not a loaded question. With your experience I thought you would have some worthwhile thoughts.

What do you think would be the results with diode biostim alone?

I have several patients (mostly smokers) who can get the lesion to ameliorate by decreasing or eliminating smoking and it comes back as the smoking continues.

Makes me go hummmmm.

I have used my waterlase at .25 watts without 5% air to effectively treat desquamative gingivitis…my hypothesis is that u could do the same with erosive lichen planus…. Wether we r biostimulating cells to create a change of do a form of microdermabrasion and allowing the healthy cells to reepithelialize I’m not sure but I do know this works…Good Luck…..

This 8 yr old girl came in for a 6 month continuing care visit. This reddened erosive area was not present last visit. Mother says its been present for a few months. It is uncomfortable to touch. Does not bleed easily. She has no unusual habits.No fever, no ulcerations anywhere else., excellent health. Looks a little like Ron K’s desquamative gingivitis but very localized(an 8 year old though?) I am not sure what I am dealing with, any thoughts? suggestions? I did attempt to palliate with Waterlase at .25W 11% A. I will follow closely.
