Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic oral mucosal disease affecting the buccal cheek, tongue, palate, lip, and gingival mucosa. Lesions in the gingiva make it difficult to control dental plaque due to pain. As a result, the disease is often accompanied by gingivitis or periodontitis. If OLP and dental plaque are not properly managed, the patient’s periodontal condition will worsen. Thus, clinicians treating OLP should emphasize periodic visits and dental plaque control. Here, we report the management of a patient who struggled with OLP for 20 years and discuss the importance of periodic regular observations and active periodontal management.
