Background:Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with a relatively high prevalence varying from 0.9 % to 1.2%. It may be confined to oral cavity or associated with the skin, nails and other mucosal sites. Oral lesions are chronic, rarely undergo spontaneous remission and are often a source of morbidity. OBJECTIVE - To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of oral lichen planus (OLP) in a group of patients. Materials and Methods: This is retrospective study done at Gandhi Hospital from 2017 to 2019. A total of 64 lichen planus patients with oral involvement were included. OLP is diagnosed based on the morphology and associated lesions on the skin, nails or other mucosa. A biopsy was done in doubtful cases.
