Improving Prescribing Quality for Oral Mucosal Disorders Using a Pharmacist-Led Model

This study aims to improve how oral mucosal disorders-such as oral lichen planus, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, burning mouth syndrome, herpes viral infection and oral candidiasis-are treated in dental settings. A pharmacist will work with dentists to review prescriptions, provide feedback, counsel patients, and monitor medication safety. Dental clinics will be assigned to either the pharmacist-led model or usual care. The study will evaluate whether this approach improves prescribing quality, patient adherence, symptom control, and safety. The findings may help establish a more standardized, effective way to manage these common oral conditions in routine dental practice.
