BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic and inflammation mucosal disease. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and oxidative stress damage might be the cause. Malondialdehyd (MDA), one parameter of lipid peroxidation is appropriate for DNA damage in OLP disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate antioxidants and oxidative stress parameters in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) diseases and healthy ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Lichen planus is a chronic, immunologic, mucocutaneous disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the most common forms of oral lichen planus (OLP) and its symptoms and to describe treatment responses in patients during 10-year period. METHODS The study was conduced on 163 OLP patients who came in the Department of ...

background: lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous disease with unknown etiology. immunodeficiency is a known predisposing factor to this disease. oral candidiasis which is an opportunistic fungal infection, commonly affects healthy and immune-compromised patients. candida has different species bearing different treatments. in this study, researchers aimed to detect the frequency and colonizat...

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...

Bachground & Aims: Oral lichenoid reactions (OLR) and oral lichen planus (OLP) are clinically and histopathologically similar but their therapeutic approach are different. Due to the presence of dysplasia in oral lichen planus which effects prognosis, the aim of study was the evaluation of proliferation activity of OLPs and OLRs and their subtypes. AgNOR technique that is inexpensive and easy...

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 patients...

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common inflammatory disease of unknown origins. Recent studies have considered nutritional factors concerning the pathogenesis of many autoimmune disorders. The objective of the present study was to investigate the plasma levels of magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) in this disorder. Methods: Included in this observation...

The present study intends to investigate COVID-19 by targeting their main proteins with 17 selected drugs used for treating Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) which is a chronic muco-cutaneous disorder. Read more at JCTRes.com

Is Oral Lichen planus (OLP) an inherently premalignant condition? The question about premalignant potential of OLP has been mired by controversy. OLP and other lichenoid dysplysia of oral mucosa occur commonly, and yet they are poorly understood. Furthermore, the role of Histochemical markers, Quantitative cytology and Morphometry as prognostic tools in evaluation of OLP has been proved beyond ...

(BDS, MS)Professor in Oral Medicine and Radiology, Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dental Science, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka Abstract Lichen palnus is a mucocutaneous disorder that predominantly affects older patients and less frequently the paediatric population. Oral lichen planus (OLP) can cause severe morbidity if undiagnosed and it carries l...
