Lichen planus is an autoimmune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, but studies have reported the role of cytotoxic T cells responsible for the disruption of basal keratinocytes and also causing the clinical symptoms. It is commonly seen in adults, with rare occurrence in children. It clinically manifests on the skin and oral mucosa, with skin lesions healing faster than the oral lesions. To obtain a diagnosis, a complete history and characteristic clinical features are usually sufficient for diagnosis, but there are certain other lesions like lichenoid reaction, contact sensitivity, white sponge nevus, pemphigoid and lupus erythematosus that show similar clinical characteristics, hence the need for histopathological evaluation using standard criteria given by Krutchkoff or World Health Organization (WHO). The treatment administered is always for eliminating symptoms and discomfort of the patients. A variety of pharmacological and natural alternatives have been used, along with frequent follow up visits in case of a tropic and erosive lichen planus. The purpose of this paper is to review the current trends in the management of oral lichen planus.

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic disease of the skin and mucous membrane. Oral lichen planus (OLP), the mucosal counterpart of cutaneous lichen planus that presents with a variety of clinical features, about 25% present with oral lesions alone. Patients may develop white striations, white papules, white plaques, erythema, erosions, or blisters affecting predominantly the posterior buccal mucosa bilaterally. The clinical presentation of OLP ranges from mild painless white keratotic lesions to painful erosions and ulcerations. The diagnosis of OLP was based on history, clinical findings and histopathological features. There is no consensus on a single set of criteria for the diagnosis of OLP. Some investigators use only the clinical criteria, while others use both clinical and histopathologic criteria. Furthermore final diagnosis was confirmed by Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) with CD8 precursor cells. The possibility of this lesion to turn malignant justifies the importance of early definitive diagnosis and long term follow up for patients with such disease.
