title: Relative incidence of intraoral pemphigus vulgaris, mucus membrane pemphigoid and lichen planus.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of patients was conducted in order to determine the relative incidence of oral pemphigus vulgaris, mucus membrane pemphigoid and lichen planus. The analysis yielded a relative incidence of 1:2:15 of pemphigus vulgaris, mucus membrane pemphigoid and lichen planus patients. The dangers of comparing and relating incidence statistics from one study to other studies were demonstrated.
