Actual (reported)Severity of clinical presentation of the lesion
The severity of the clinical presentation of the lesion was calculated by multiplying (Sub-site score A) by (Severity score B) as Sub-site score A 0= no lesion 1. evidence of lichen planus 2. ≥50% of buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, the floor of the mouth, hard palate, soft palate, or oropharynx affected Severity score B 0= keratosis only 1. keratosis with mild erythema (≤ 3 mm from gingival margin) 2. marked erythema (e.g. full thickness of gingivae, extensive with atrophy or edema on non-keratinized mucosa) 3. ulceration present Severity of clinical appearance=A\*B (sub-site score\* severity score) * Mild: 1-2 * Moderate: 3-4 * Severe: 5-6 Finally, the lesion was considered as persisting at follow-up if the clinical presentation score was greater than 0 where whereas a score of 0 indicated a healed lesion.

vitamin D supplement was given as 60,000 IU weekly in conjunction with systemic steroids.
systemic steroids only
All participants received 40-60 mg of systemic prednisone as a single morning dose according to the severity of the condition until a 50% reduction in lesion size was achieved then the dose was tapered by 10mg each week and finally to 5 mg/day for the last week. Patients were followed up weekly for up to 60 days. The length and dose of treatment were adjusted according to clinical needs in each case. In addition, a vitamin D supplement was given as 60,000 IU weekly in conjunction with systemic steroids.
