Résumé
Introduction Oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid reaction (OLR) constitute clinical entities with strong but unclear etiologic relation to dental materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate a correlation between the clinical form of OLP/OLR and the number of dental metal restorations in the oral cavity thus utilizing an exposure to metal (EM) index. Material and methods The study type is experimental, and the study design is characterized as semiquantitative research that belongs to the branch of experimental research. Twenty-nine patients were chosen based on clinical (either reticular or erosive clinical forms) and histologic findings suggestive of OLP/OLR. The files of patients were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Oral Medicine/Pathology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the period 2009-2019. The medical history of the patients did not include any disorder or medication associated with lichenoid lesions and the measurements took place concurrently with the establishment of the diagnosis, thus no treatment for the lichen planus had been administered prior to the measurements. Quantitative measurement of the percentage of dental surfaces restored through metal restorations and correlation with the clinical and histologic findings of OLP/OLR was evaluated. The EM index was evaluated on a scale of 1-3, which corresponds to the percentage of dental surfaces restored through metal restorations. The statistical analysis was performed with the Pearson chi-square test and the significance level was set at
