Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of non-aromatic very rich in steranes (NAVS) naphthalan in the treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between NAVS and topical steroids in the treatment of OLP and RAS. Methods The study consisted of two sub-trials conducted as randomized, double-blind controlled studies: first included OLP patients and second patients with RAS. Patients received either NAVS or 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate. Primary outcomes were activity score (OLP patients), No of lesions and lesion diameter (RAS patients) and pain intensity (VAS) while secondary outcome included the impact of the disease on quality of life assessed by Oral health impact profile (OHIP 14). Results No significant differences in terms of OLP clinical signs (p = 0.84, η2 = 0.001) and responses on the OHIP-14 (p = 0.81, η2 = 0.002) or on VAS (p = 0.14, η2 = 0.079) between NAVS and betamethasone groups were observed. In RAS patients, no significant differences between the groups in terms of lesion number (at days 3 and 5, p = 0.33 and p = 0.98, respectively), lesion diameter (days 3 and 5, p = 0.24 and p = 0.84, respectively) were observed. However, in NAVS group a significant reduction of lesions diameter was observed on the 3rd day, while in betamethasone group a significant reduction in lesions diameter was evident only after the 5th day. No significant differences in VAS (p > 0.05) and the OHIP-14 (p > 0.05) between groups were found. Conclusion No evidence of differences between the two compared interventions was found. Registration Retrospective registration of this trial was conducted in ClinicalTrials.gov on September 30, 2016; trial registration number: NCT02920658. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02920658?term=NAVS&draw=2&rank=4.

Zinc, as the second most abundant trace element present in the living organisms after iron, plays a key role in the structural, catalytic, and signaling felds. Beyond the numerous systemic symptoms of zinc defciency, it may also contribute to different processes of oral diseases. The articles were collected from three search engines including PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, and SCOPUS. The search keywords are as follows: Zinc, trace elements, zinc defciency, oral diseases, oral lesions, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, oral squamous cell carcinoma, burning mouth syndrome, xerostomia, neuropathy. Many diverse articles including original article, case report/case series, and review articles were collected. Several studies have investigated the role of zinc and its defciency in the development of various types of noncommunicable oral lesions including recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), oral lichen planus (OLP), precancerous lesions of the oral cavity (leukoplakia and submucosal fbrosis), oral cancer, xerostomia and burning mouth syndrome, periodontal disease, and Caries. Therefore, the present research was conducted to review the previous studies performed in this feld. [GMJ.2021;10:e2071]
