World Workshop of Oral Medicine VII: A systematic review of immunobiologic therapy for oral manifestations of pemphigoid and pemphigus.

Evidence clearly describing oral tissue response to biologic therapy is sparse. Two RCTs support use of rituximab, one supports use of IVIg, and one pilot study suggests intralesional injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma aids healing of oral PV lesions. As oral lesions of pemphigus and pemphigoid can be refractory to systemic therapy, drug trials including biologic therapies should document details regarding response of the oral lesions to therapy.
