ORAL LICHEN PLANUS LESION EXACERBATION DURING AN EPISODE OF STRESS
Keywords:
Oral lichen planus, Restorative and prosthodontic, EPISODE OF STRESS
Abstract
Restorative and prosthodontic needs for general population invariably arise sometime in their lifetime, which prompts them to visit the general practitioner or the concerned specialist. It is also true that psychological stress has become a part of life for a common man. Many oral mucosal lesions are prone to exacerbate during episodes of stress and require urgent attention. One of such lesions is oral lichen planus which is also thought to have a malignant or premalignant potential. This article presents a case of oral lichen planus which exacerbated due to the patients stressful life. The article also discusses the course of action in such cases.
