Sažetak
Nonaromatic naphthalan (NAVS) is a purified natural oil derivative, abundant in steranes (geogenic „steroids“). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of NAVS in the treatment of oral mucosal diseases (oral lichen planus (OLP), recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU), cicatricial pemphigoid (CP). NAVS has successfully reduced the clinical signs and symptoms of OLP ; has reduced the number, diameter and symptoms in patients with RAU statistically comparable with corticosteroids. NAVS has reduced clinical signs in 1 CP patient. These results indicate the good performance of NAVS as a potential alternative to corticosteroids in treatment of oral mucosal diseases.
