Differential metallothionein expression in oral lichen planus and amalgam-associated oral lichenoid lesions

Differential metallothionein expression in oral lichen planus and amalgam-associated oral lichenoid lesions

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease mediated by T cells, which manifests as reticular (white) or erosive (red) lesions, that are eventually painful. Oral lichenoid lesion (OLL) are distinguished from OLP by the presence of precipitating factors. The aim of this stu...
