About this trial

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the clinical and histopathological changes in Oral Lichen Planus patients with gingival involvement pre and post subgingival instrumentation.

Objective- Primary objective: To observe and evaluate the clinical signs and symptoms in Oral Lichen Planus with gingival involvement. Secondary objective: To observe and evaluate the Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 4+ and 8+T lymphocytes in Oral Lichen Planus with gingival involvement.

Study group: 30 cases of Oral Lichen Planus with gingival involvement
