The present work analyses various life quality aspects of 79 patients with oral lichen planus, who were examined in the Žalgiris Clinic of Vilnius University Hospital in the period 2009-2012. Oral lichen planus had different forms of the disease and individual experience, which impacted quality of life. The erosive-ulcerative form of the disease as compared to reticular form had more detrimental influence on psychological, social or physical comfort of patients. A high percentage of patients (48,3% erosive-ulcerative form and 44,5% reticular form) were concerned about their future with oral lichen planus.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between personality traits and perceived treatment success in oral lichen planus. Material and methods A total of 53 patients with diagnosed oral lichen planus were evaluated at the time of diagnosis and along the course of their treatment. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for evaluating pain and burning sensation, along with an evaluation of the oral health-related quality of life (OHIP) and the clinical severity. In order to determine the personality trait, the NEO-FFI questionnaire was applied. Data were assessed with the statistical software Stata by a multiple linear regression. Results A significant relationship between the two personality traits: “conscientiousness” and “extraversion” and a perceived improvement in oral lichen planus could be observed. The higher the “conscientiousness,” the better the perceived oral health-related quality of life. Furthermore, “extraversion” had a significant influence on the improvement in clinical severity index (P < 0.05). Conclusions Personality traits, especially conscientiousness and extraversion, have a significant impact on the perception of therapeutic intervention in oral lichen planus. Clinical relevance As personalized patient management is gaining importance and psychosocial factors play a significant role in mucosal diseases, the patient’s psychological profile should be considered in the oral lichen planus management.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology with significant impact on patients’ quality of life. Malignant transformation into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is considered as one of the most serious complications of the disease; nevertheless, controversy still persists. Various factors seem to be involved in the progression of malignant transformation; however, the mechanism of this process is not fully understood yet. Molecular alterations detected in OLP samples might represent useful biomarkers for predicting and monitoring the malignant progression. In this review, we discuss various studies which highlight different molecules as ominous predictors of OLP malignant transformation.
