The distinguishing criteria established by WHO effectively reproducible when all selection criteria were fulfi...

OBJECTIVE Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an autoimmune inflammatory pathogenesis. The aim of the research is to compare the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and adhesion of molecules in the biopsy samples of patients affected by OLP, in order to research the presence of the angiogenetic phenomenon and to understand its pathogenetic mechanism. MATERIAL...

Introdouction: Lichen planus is a chronic, relatively common, dermal mucosa disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced lichen planus as a premalignant condition. Ki-67 is a protein that can be detected in all active phases of the cell cycle, especially in the G2 and M phases. Considering the major role of Ki-67 in the regulation of the cell cycle and the fact that it is one of ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lichen planus is a relatively common mucocutaneous disease, with an unknown etiology. There is no complete cure for oral lichen planus (OLP), but some drugs, including corticosteroids, retinoids, cyclosporine and antibiotics are commonly used for treatment of OLP. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of combi-nation of triamcinolone and vitamin A mouthwash ...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is an immunologically T cell-mediated disease caused by an unknown stimulus. Despite intensive investigation its pathogenesis still remains unknown. A few possible associations between OLP and certain diseases such as thyroid and malignant diseases as well as specific medication intake have been proposed in the literature with inconsistent findings. We aimed to investig...

BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is associated with various other systemic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM). This study evaluated the prevalence of OLP in DM patients compared with non-diabetic control subjects in a meta-analysis study. METHODS In this study from January 1973 to August 2016, we searched the studies in Web of Science, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Science d...

background: oral lichen planus (olp) has been classified as a pre-malignant condition. matrix metalloproteinase-13 (mmp-13) or collagenase-3 may play a key role in cancer development. the aim of this study was to compare serum and saliva mmp-13 between patients with oral lichen planus (olp) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc).   methods : this cross sectional study was performed on 30 patie...

Despite being one of the most common oral mucosal diseases and recognized as early as 1866, oral lichen planus (OLP) is still a disease without a clear etiology or pathogenesis, and with uncertain premalignant potential. More research is urgently needed; however, the research material must be based on an accurate diagnosis. Accurate identification of OLP is often challenging, mandating inclusio...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is classified as a potentially malignant disorder. Systematic reviews collating longitudinal observation studies provide evidence of the rate or proportion transformation. We conducted an umbrella study published systematic reviews. An extensive English-language search was carried out in several databases to identify relevant articles, providing on transformation OLP.
