This study was done on 45 patients with oral lesions, they were divided into 3 groups. Group (A) treated by clobetasol-17 propionate in an orabase. Group (B) treated by mixture of clobetasol and retionic acid in an orabase, and group (C) treated by retionic acid in an orabase. Every patient took a container containing his treatment medication and came every 5 days for 30 days for follow up and recorded his clinical healing stages degree of pain according to the clinical parameters. The results showed that the best andrapid period of healingwas withgroup(8) (the mixture of clobetasol and retionic acid) and also the treatmentwith retionic acid showedgoodresults so retionic acidwithorabasecan be used in cases where corticosteroid is contraindicatedso it is better to use the mixture of clobetasol-17 propionateand retionic acidin an orabasewithin thetreatmentof orallichenplanus.
