Abstract
A modified approach to the treatment of two patients with oral mucous membrane pemphigoid,
using an adaptation of a custom fluoride carrier, is described. The method provided
for occlusive topical steroid therapy, overcoming many of the obstacles to such treatment
for oral lesions. Response was excellent, with no adverse local or systemic effects.
Further clinical trials to determine the applicability of this form of therapy in
the treatment of patients with a number of infectious, ulcerative, and vesiculobullous
oral diseases appear warranted.
