Líquen plano oral

Abstract

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common mucosal disease that can present isolated or associated with cutaneous lichen planus. Contrarily to its cutaneous counterpart, though, OLP tends to be chronic, relapsing, and difficult to treat. Severe morbidity is related to erosive forms, and more aggressive presentations have been described, such as the "gingivo-vulvar syndrome". This article reviews the current knowledge about the pathogenesis, clinical picture, differential and laboratorial diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of OLP.

“…[7,9] Lesion diagnosis performed by history, clinical examination and histo-pathological findings which is the acanthosis (hyper ortho, or para keratosis)if it is a keratotic white lesion, apoptosis of basal cell layer ,civatte bodies ,infiltration of lymphocytes in the lamina propria superficially, in addition to the saw teeth rate ridges. [7,10] Lesions resulting from contact with dental materials(restorations)will be asymmetrical and near the restoration ,it represent lichenoid reaction ,resolution will take place after change the restoration material. [11]Same could observed when new drug intake may result in liken planus like lesion that disappear after withdrawal of the new drug (lichenoid drug reaction).The use direct immune fluorescence assay is used to differentiate oral lichen planus from other mucocutanous condition for example lupus erythematosis, erythema multiformi and pemphigus .…”
