“…The mean age of presentation of disease was 37.3 years and maximum numbers of cases were found in the fourth decade of life. This finding is like the findings of some researchers [13,26,29], whereas others reported that the prevalence increased progressively from the age of 40 years [21,22]. The most frequently affected oral site was the buccal mucosa bilaterally, as reported by other studies [13,23,24].…”

The aim: oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucous membrane. It can present in various clinical forms: reticular, papular, plaque-like, atrophic, erosive and bullous. Though the exact etiology is not certain - autoimmunity, trauma, stress, and habits are considered as etiological factors. Oral lichen planus has been classified as a premalignant lesion. The present study aims to describe the prevalence of oral lichen planus in a sample of north Indian population. Materials and methods: the present study was conducted in the outpatient department of Dentistry, GMC Badaun. The parameters recorded were age, gender and site affected. The data was collected and analysed. Results: a total of 6263 patients reported to the outpatient department of dentistry out of which 43 patients were diagnosed with oral lichen planus. The overall prevalence of oral lichen planus was found to be 0.69 %. The mean age of disease presentation was 37.5 years. A higher prevalence of oral lichen planus was reported in females compared to males with a ratio of 1:1.15. Most affected site was found to be buccal mucosa bilaterally (58.14 %). Conclusion: the present study estimated the overall prevalence of oral lichen planus as well as its distribution according to age, gender and site in north Indian population. This could contribute to the precise assessment of the disease for better policy making for better treatment and management of oral lichen planus.

“…In our case the lesion was confined to the entire dorsum surface of the tongue, this finding was in agreement with Surendran (2019) [15] and also consistent with Persic (2008) [16] who stated that plaque-like lesions most frequently on the dorsum of the tongue and gingiva. While inconsistent with Rashid (2020) (17) who found that in most patients, LP lesions were identified in the buccal mucosa in the majority of patients, followed by the dorsum of the tongue. The patient's history, typical oral lesions, and skin or nail involvement are commonly used to make a clinical diagnosis of OLP.…”

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa of obscured etiopathogenesis. The plaque variant of OLP shows whitish homogeneous irregularities similar to leukoplakia. It affects the tongue and oral mucosa with papule lesions or rashes. OLP Plaque variant is more prevalent in tobacco smokers. Diagnosis of OLP is usually achieved by clinical and histological examination. OLP has malignant transformation potential varying between 0.3% and 3%. Although various treatment modalities are available for the condition, topical corticosteroids are widely accepted as the primary choice of OLP therapy. The objective of this review and presented case highlights epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, histopathology, differential diagnosis, and recent treatment modalities of OLP and its plaque variant.
