Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Immunodermatology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory condition affecting oral mucosa, often in middle-aged females.
  • It presents bilaterally and is considered an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD).
  • Etiological factors include viral infections, systemic conditions, local irritants, and significant psychological triggers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the multifactorial origins of OLP.
  • To highlight the significant contribution of psychological factors in OLP development and exacerbation.
  • To underscore the psychosomatic nature of OLP.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on OLP etiology.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and associated conditions.
  • Correlation of OLP with psychological states such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Main Results:

  • OLP is multifactorial, with psychological factors playing a major role.
  • The onset, progression, and worsening of OLP symptoms often parallel emotional disturbances.
  • Simultaneous involvement of skin, nails, and genitals can occur.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological factors are chief contributors to OLP presentations.
  • OLP pathogenesis, progression, and exacerbation are closely linked to emotional well-being.
  • Effective management may require addressing both oral health and psychological status.
