Photobiomodulation (PBM) aids tissue repair, while photodynamic therapy (PDT) selectively targets diseased cells and modulates cytokines. This study compares the effectiveness of PDT (660 nm) and triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% in managing symptomatic OLP. It evaluates their impact on serum and salivary biomarkers (IL-1Beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and MDA) at baseline and at 3 months and correlates these markers with pain and clinical scores (VAS and RAE) to determine their therapeutic efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A randomized controlled trial on 28 OLP patients compared two treatments: Group I received 0.1% TA (3 times\/day for 1 month); Group II underwent PDT with 1% toluidine blue and 660 nm diode laser (100 mW, 60 sec\/cm\u00b2, 2 times\/week for 1 month). Pain with VAS and lesion size with RAE were assessed at baseline and 1, 2, and 3 months.
