口腔扁平苔癬患者における総義歯補綴治療の臨床経過

抄録

A clinical course of complete denture treatment in a patient with oral lichen planus, due to an irritation of a denture plaque and a food bolus, is presented.

A70-years-old edentulous man had white changes surounded by erythematous lesion on the right buccal mucosa and the right mandibular residual ridges with pain and buring symptoms. The lesion was clinically diagnosed as lichen planus. He had a cryosurgery for treatment of his lichen planus, and had a prothodontic treatment to restore his oral function.

However, about 7 months after of the treatment, the lichen planus recured, which seemed to be associated with the irritation of a denture plaque and a food bolus. In order to refit the complete denture to his oral tisuue, then the complete denture prothosis were rebased by adding new denture material.

After he wore the complete denture, the lesions disappeared and the area was covered with normal mucosa.
