Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis
  • Burning Mouth Syndrome
  • Oral Candidiasis
  • Herpes Virus Infection

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pharmacist-Led Prescribing Optimization and Patient Counselling

This intervention involves a structured, pharmacist-led model integrated into routine dental care for patients with oral mucosal disorders. A clinical pharmacist will review dental prescriptions using standardized, evidence-based drug algorithms; provide audit and feedback to dentists; deliver structured patient counselling focused on correct medication use and adherence; and monitor for adverse drug reactions using validated tools. The intervention targets improvement in prescribing quality, medication safety, and patient outcomes, without introducing investigational drugs or altering standard treatment choices.
