Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Background:. Oral lichen planus is an immunologically based, chronic, inflammatory mucocutaneous disorder of undetermined etiology. The overall prevalence of lichen planus in the general population is about 0.1-4%. Materials and method:. The present cross-sectional study was performed in the Department of Oral Pathology, SVS Dental College, Mahaboobnagar, Telangana State. 30 cases of lichen planus were included in the study and 30 healthy subjects were taken as controls. A total of 3 mL of blood sample was taken from each subject and the serum levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL were determined. The mean outcomes of each group were compared with each other and analyzed two by two tables. Results: The results of statistical analyses showed no significant differences in mean HDL and LDL serum levels between the two groups. Conclusion: Triglyceride can be considered to have a critical role in the incidence of lichen planus and in its manifestations as predisposing factors
