Various treatments have been suggested for OLP but their results are unsatisfactory .Despite the fact that steroids have been the main therapeutic choice for many years,some researches have been done regarding the efficacy of other medication such as metronidazole and doxycycline.The purpose of this study is to determine whether metronidazole and doxycycline are effective in the treatment of oral lichen planus and to compare their efficacy with each other.
