  • Title: Do metal restorations in mouth alter clinical and histological appearance of oral lichen planus?
    Author: López-Jornet P, Camacho-Alonso F.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2008 Nov; 74(6):40-3. PubMed ID: 19195238.
    Abstract:
    The objective of our study was to determine whether clinical and histopathological differences exist between patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) with dental amalgam and those without. The study involved 213 patients with OLP. They were divided into two groups: those with OLP without dental amalgam, and those with OLP with dental amalgam. The most frequent location for both groups was the buccal mucosa and bilateral presentation. No clinical or histopathological statistically significant differences were found between OLP with or without dental amalgam.
