Resumo

This article presents a review of the literature on oral lichen planus, focusing on important aspects of its epidemiology, etiopathogeny, and clinical manifestations. The oral form is an important clinical presentation of lichen planus. It may precede or accompany the skin lesions, or it may be the only manifestation of the disease. Dermatologists, dentists, otorhinolaryngologists, and other specialists who deal with the oral cavity must be aware of this disease so they can diagnose, treat, and keep these patients under observation.
