Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Lichen planus is a disease involving skin and mucosal membranes of various parts of the body. The exact etiology of oral lichen planus (OLP) still remains partially understood. According to the literature, pathogenesis of OLP is due to cell-mediated immunopathological response to antigenic alterations of keratinocytes in the skin and mucosa.The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined OLP as a potentially precancerous disorder, representing a generalized state associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer. OLP affects 0.5% to 2.2% of the population and is more frequent in women than men, from 2:1 to 3:1, respectively. The common age at presentation is 30 to 60 years, predominantly involves middle-aged women and younger-aged men.OLP is relatively not so common among the pediatric population, and it usually appears along with cutaneous Lichen Planus (LP). Only 17% of the affected patients recover totally from OLP, however remission seen in 39% of the OLP lesions.
