Oral lichen planus is a complex and poorly understood clinical condition which cannot be cured. A definitive diagnosis and careful, conscientious follow-up are imperative. Symptoms and complications are common and challenging but may be managed with a variety of therapies including orally administered and systemic medications as well as lifestyle alterations and reduction of precipitating factors.
