    Gašperšič, Rok, 1972- ; Skalerič, Uroš, 1945-2023
    Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease, mostly affecting the buccal mucosa. It may occur in conjunction with a number of other chronic conditions and ... malignant lesions of the oral cavity.In this study, the clinical features of OLP and the prevalence of associated chronic conditions were evaluated in a group of patients referred to the Unit of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, during a period of two years. Patients and methods: Forty-three patients were studied. The clinical features and localization of OLP were evaluated on the basis of history and clinical examination. The presence of accompanying diseases was established from history data. Results: Seventy-fiveper cent of patients had the reticular form of OLP, and buccal mucosa was the predominant site of involvement (93%); symptomatic disease was present in two thirds of the patients. Seventy per cent of patients had at least one additional chronic condition, most frequently gastrointestinal disease (25%). Conclusion: Our patients did not differ significantly from other patient populations with regard to the clinical features of OLP and prevalence of associated chronic conditions. The reticular form of OLP involving the buccal musoca is managed by symptomatic treatment and observation. Patients with other forms of OLP and other sites of involvement should be referred to a specialist.
