title: Diagnosis and management of oral lichen planus.
abstract: OLP has many clinical presentations. Some lesions of OLP require no treatment. Some must be managed for 20 years or more. The differential diagnosis of OLP is difficult and varied. Dermatologists should consider consultation with a dentist or specialist in oral medicine for diagnosis and management of lesions of OLP.
