Is Oral Lichen Planus really a potentially malignant disorder?
September 24 @ 15:00 – 16:00 IST
About The Lecture
Various arguments have been made for and against the malignant potential of oral lichen planus (OLP). This lecture will explore recent clinical and molecular data that suggest that OLP’s malignant transformation potential has been exaggerated. If this is true, it raises the question of whether OLP should continue to be considered an oral, potentially malignant disorder.
