Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated chronic inflammatory disease with a varied clinical presentation. The present clinical study was carried out to clarify the demographic and clinical profile of 108 patients with OLP. The patients were identified based on the diagnostic criteria proposed by van der Meij et al. (2003) modified from the WHO (1978) clinical and histopathologic definition of OLP. Information such as age, gender, clinical presentation and type of OLP, site of involvement, symptoms, extraoral involvement, history of systemic disease, familial occurrence and risk factors like chewing and smoking tobacco, chewing betel quid, alcohol consumption were obtained. Mean age of OLP patients was 45.4 years, and among the identified patients, 70.4% were females. The most frequent clinical type was the reticular form (80.6%). The OLP lesions were symptomatic in 77.8% of the patients. The buccal mucosa was the most affected site (87.9%) and multiple oral lesions were observed in 41.7% of the patients. Among the OLP patients, 36.1% and 4.7% reported chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco, respectively. Histopathologically, epithelial dysplasia was seen in two cases. The chronic nature of OLP warrants patient education, psychological support and long-term follow up. (J Oral Sci 58, 43-47, 2016)
