Abstract
Oral lichen planus is an intractable inflammatory muco-cutaneous disease. Although much research has been carried out on the pathogenetic mechanism and treatment methods, and a vast amount of knowledge has been obtained, this disease unfortunately has not been yet elucidated and suppressed. The OLP Committee of the Japanese Association of Oral Medicine was established with the aim of continuing and further developing the work of the former Lichen Planus Working Group, which acted jointly with the Japanese Society of Oral Pathology over the last decade. In this review, this Committee will collect and present as much of the currently available knowledge regarding oral lichen planus as possible, and also recommend the direction of research development in the future.
