Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common mucocutaneous disease with an uncertain etiology. To date, the background of the condition remains unclear, but most likely, it involves both antigen-specific and non-specific mechanisms, leading to the damage of the basal cell layer in the epithelium. Remissions and exacerbations modified by several environmental factors strongly reduce the quality of life of patients with OLP. The disease was identified as a potentially malignant disorder by the World Health Organization. The treatment of OLP is mainly symptomatic, with no effective causative therapeutic options currently available.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers focused on the management of oral lichen planus. A comprehensive perspective, including current treatment options as well as novel and emerging options, will be presented in this series.
We encourage all authors to share their experiences on this topic for this Special Issue as there is an urgent need to develop effective therapeutic strategies for patients with OLP and to develop a uniform strategy for its management.
