Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
To assess the efficacy of topical purslane in two concentrations (5% &10%) in treating symptomatic oral lichen planus.
To assess the efficacy of topical 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide gel in symptomatic oral lichen planus.
To compare the level of clinical improvement on oral lichen planus patients using purslane and 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide gel. 

No statistically significant difference between the compared groups pertaining to the study variables (burning sensation, pain, lesion score, symptomatic response of burning sensation, symptomatic response of pain, clinical response) at all the five time periods (baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months). Intragroup comparison revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the five time periods (baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months) for the study variables (burning sensation, pain, lesion score) for all the three groups (p=0.001). No burning sensation, pain as well as lesion was observed for all the three groups at the end of three months.

This study implies Topical Purslane gel can be used as an safer alternative treatment modality for alleviating the symptoms of Oral Lichen planus with lesser side effects.
