Introduction: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of oral mucosa with unknown etiology.Many studies have suggested that increased oxidative stress, an imbalance in the antioxidant defense system maybe involved pathogenesis planus.Aim: The aim this study was to compare tissue levels Super oxide dismutase (SOD) and lipidperoxidation marker Malondialdehyde (MDA) established ...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by relapses and remissions. There is currently no cure for OLP. Treatment is aimed primarily at reducing the length and severity of symptomatic outbreaks. Topical steroids are the first-choice agent for the treatment of symptomatic, active OLP. Other topical agents that have been used in cases resistant to topical steroids...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine by immunohistochemistry the presence and significance of p53 and bcl-2 proteins in oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). STUDY DESIGN We used 21 cases diagnosed as OLP 16 diagnosed as OSCC and four normal gingival biopsies taken from healthy patients were used as controls. Slides were processed for immunohistochemist...

Background and Objective. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic mucocutaneous disease. OLP can occur in different oral sites such as gingiva. The purpose of study was to evaluate the periodontal status of OLP patients with desquamative gingivitis (DG) and compare it with that of healthy control. Methods. This study was case-control. 32 patients with gingival OLP as a case group and 32 he...

unstimulated whole salivary p53 was evaluated in non-involved subjects, in patients suffering from oral lichen planus (olp) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc). a total of 34 patients with olp, 24 patients suffering from oral scc and 41 non-involved participants were enrolled. the unstimulated whole saliva p53 level was assayed by elisa. data was analyzed by anova followed by the tukey post hoc t...

BACKGROUND The Internet is one of the most popular resources for people to obtain medical information; however, only a limited number of studies have reported the quality of the available health information related to oral mucosal diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of information on websites for recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) and oral lichen planus (OLP), in both Chinese...

BACKGROUNDS Lichen planus is a chronic systemic disease and oral mucosa is commonly involved. Oral lichen planus (OLP) most commonly affects middle-aged women. The prevalence of the disease ranges between 0.5% and 2.6% in the general population and the range of malignant transformation varies between 0% and 10%. OBJECTIVES To assess the rate of malignant transformation of OLP samples. MATER...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by cellular-mediated inflammatory reactions which render apoptotic epithelial cells and degeneration of the basal epithelial layer. Eighteen volunteering cases of OLP were scheduled, after getting their informed consents, to be reported in this study. All of them were diagnosed histologically. The diagnosis was confirmed v...

: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common chronic inflammatory disease. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) considered as major mediator in inflammation reactions. No review articles have been done on evaluating TNF-α levels before and after performing standard treatments of OLP so far. This study aimed to provide complete the association between this cytokine well determining role ...
