title: Amalgam-associated oral lichenoid reaction: case report and management.
abstract: Amalgam-associated oral lichenoid reaction (AAOLR) is a rare lesion in dental practice. This article presents a case involving a striated, white, symptomatic plaque with an atrophic central area located in the left buccal mucosa and making direct contact with an amalgam restoration. Management included removing the amalgam restoration and using composite resin as a substitute. After 30 days, complete health was observed and AAOLR was diagnosed.
