Mast cell expression in oral lichen planus: A systematic review
AbstractLichen planus is a common chronic, inflammatory, immune ‐mediated mucocutaneous disorder affecting the skin and mucosa. The role of mast cells in the genesis of lichen planus has been debated. Establishing a definitive part played by mast cells and its degranulation would possibly provide a permanent, cost‐effective treatment modality for oral lichen planus (OLP). This review aims to study the expression of mast cells qualitatively and quantitatively in OLP. The research questions were framed to assess the mast cell count, localization within the epithelium basement membrane zone and degranulation of mast cells...

Distribution of platelets, transforming growth factor ‐β1, platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB, vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloprotease‐9 in advanced platelet‐rich fibrin and concentrated growth factor matrices
ConclusionAlthough these preparations do not allow accurate quantification, platelet counts and growth factor levels seemed higher and leukocytes were less activated in A ‐PRF. This may explain A‐PRF’s higher ability to release growth factors. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)
