Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory, non-infectious disease that causes lesions on the buccal mucosa, tongue and gingivae (gums). It affects approximately 1-2% of the general adult population. Although oral lichen planus predominantly occurs in adults older than 40 years, younger adults and children can also be affected. Lichen Planus may affect either skin or mouth or genitals or the nails; or in any combination of two or more.
 

The role of autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus is supported by many studies. It may be induced by certain drugs (mentioned below), contact allergens in dental materials or toothpastes, mechanical trauma, viral infection or some unidentified agents.

Causes:
Oral Lichen Planus may be caused by more than one cause. Some drugs often induce it. Stress is also a major trigger factor. Genetic factor is usually found in the back ground. Oral lichen planus is considered pre-cancerous. However, it is not so common for Oral Lichen Planus to turn cancerous.  Click here to understand the causes in detail.
 
Some of the commonly known drugs inducing Lichen Planus are:

•  Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

•  Sulfonylureas

•  Antimalarials

•  Beta-blockers

•  Certain angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

 

Features:

Generally, the onset of oral lichen planus is insidious and patients are unaware of its commencement. Usually the medical or dental practitioner identifies the clinical changes in the oral mucosa on routine examination.

  Common symptoms include sensation of roughness in the lining of the mouth, sensitivity to hot or spicy foods, soreness of oral mucosa and gums, red or white patches on the oral mucosa and gums, or oral ulcerations.

  The lesions of oral lichen planus are usually bilateral.

  Oral lichen planus lesions may be associated with patchy brown melanin (pigment) deposits in the oral mucosa.

My oral lichen planus has recovered a great deal with your homeopathic treatment and I can now eat most of the things without much discomfort unlike previously when I just could not consume anything properly. Thank you so much for your help and treatment.

I am writing to let you know my medication is still successful in keeping my oral lichen planus in remission. I’ve had no flare-ups since I started this medication in June of 2005. This makes me very happy. Thank you.
Sincerely,

I have seen excellent improvement in my oral lichen planus, all the lesions have disappeared. We were impatient and sometimes in deep distress, but you always reassured us, saying that the lesions will heal, and today the lesions are all healed, and we have come to thank you. We are happy to be with you for our treatment. Thank you for everything.
