Oral lichen planus is a common chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disorder that typically affects the oral mucosa and additionally, in some cases the skin. Lichen planus can affect other non-oral mucosal surfaces such as the genitals, anus and pharynx. Conjunctival and oesophageal involvement may rarely occur. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T-cell-mediated chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disea...

Lichen planus, a chronic autoimmune, mucocutaneous disease affects the oral mucosa (oral lichen planus or OLP) besides the skin, genital mucosa, scalp and nails. An immune mediated pathogenesis is recognized in lichen planus although the exact etiology is unknown. The disease most commonly affects middle-aged females. Oral lichenoid reactions (OLR) which are considered variants of OLP, may be r...

OBJECTIVE In terms of the demographic and clinical characteristics, this is the one of the largest studies on Iranian patients with Oral Lichen Planus (OLP). STUDY DESIGN Data was taken from the medical records of 420 consecutive patients referred to the Oral Medicine Department, and who were subsequently found to have clinical and usual histopathology consistent with features of OLP. RESUL...

Background: This study sought to identify the circular RNAs (circRNAs) differentially expressed in oral lichen planus (OLP) investigate possible role of circRNAs this disease’s pathogenesis.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease with an unknown aetiology, affecting 0.5-2% of the population and with a predilection for females in fourth to fifth decade of life. Most oral lichen planus lesions are asymptomatic but the atrophic and erosive forms of OLP can cause symptoms ranging from spontaneous soreness to severe pain interfering with eating, speech and swallowin...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common inflammatory disease with unknown etiology. Depression, stress and anxiety are psychological factors that their influence on the expression of lichen planus by affecting the immune system's function has been confirmed. There is a probable relationship between anger and OLP expression. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the association of "anger" ...

Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease, predominantly affecting the middle-aged individuals and may be associated with a plethora of signs and symptoms related to the skin, scalp, nails and mucous membranes. The definitive etiology of lichen planus is not yet known and no therapeutic modality has yet been universally accepted. Lichen planus in pediatric patients is a rare phenomenon and its p...

ABSTRACT The relationship between chronic hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) and oral lichen planus (OLP) is a current topic in the field of oral medicine. Many studies of this association have been made over time. The geographic variation of the hepatitis C prevalence proved to be an important factor influencing the statistical results of the studies analyzing the association of the oral plan l...

Introduction: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immunological disorder with unknown etiology. Some studies have reported an association between oral lichen planus and diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of diabetes mellitus in patients with oral lichen planus and healthy persons. Materials &Methods: This case‒control study was performed on 50 patients with ...

introduction: oral lichen planus (olp) is a common mucocutanous disorder with unknown etiology. while current data suggest that oral lichen planus is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease, it might be associated to s+100, cd+4 and cd+8 cells. because of differential diagnosis of olp and oral lichenoid lesion (oll) is usually difficult this study was designed to compare any probable immunohistochem...
