Abstract:
The objective of this work was to carry out a clinicopathological study to ascertain whether clinical and histopathologic differences existed between oral lichen planus OLP patients with and without metal restorations. The predominant clinical form in both groups was reticular white, with no statistically significant differences between the forms associated or not with metal. The histological variables showed no statistically significant differences between the groups.
