Аннотация

Lichenoid form of lichen erythematosus is one of the manifest diseases of the oral mucosa. The degree of violation of the periodontal status of the oral mucosa with the development of erosive and ulcerative lesions and chronic course determines the aggressiveness of the clinical course of this disease. The purpose of this study was to study the periodontal status of patients with lichen planus of the oral mucosa. There were 287 patients under observation: 187 patients with lichen planus of the oral mucosa and 100 patients with periodontitis without lichen planus as a control group. The results showed that lichenoid lichen and periodontitis mutually burden each other.
