Evaluation of oxidative stress markers in oral lichen planus

Molecular Markers of Oral Lichen Planus

Oral lichen planus.

Physical examination There were multiple ulcerations over the lower lip (Figure 1). The gingiva was swollen and inflamed (Figure 1).

Salivary oxidative status in patients with oral lichen planus.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases, including oral lichen planus. Therefore, determining the salivary markers of oxidative stress is an excellent alternative approach to diagnosing oral cavity diseases. The objective of our study was to provide preliminary validation and determination of the salivary markers of oxidative stress in both p...

Oral lichen planus.

Reticular LP is usually asymptomatic, affects multiple sites, and can be recognized by white papules that can coalesce to form plaques. There may be fine, white, lace-like striae (Wickham striae) on the buccal mucosa, gingiva, and lips. Cutaneous LP may be seen in up to 44% of patients with oral LP. Erosive LP usually presents with pain while eating, especially with spicy foods. There is usuall...
