Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is known to be a chronic inflammatory disease of uncertain etiopathogenesis. Though it is often asymptomatic, a severe form of this will exhibit symptoms such as excessive pain that can disturb daily activities (swallowing, eating, etc.). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is potentially precancerous as it is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Lichen Planus can occur independently in the skin or even in the genital, anal, oesophageal, nasal and laryngeal mucosa. At present, prognostic markers are unavailable to help in the detection of lesions that are potentially malignant. This study aims towards identifying any available cellular or molecular markers pertaining towards a better diagnosis of OLP. A proper knowledge on the clinical features, pathogenesis and diagnosis will allow also contribute to a better treatment option.
