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

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in clinical signs and symptoms in cases of oral lichen planus
Clinical signs and symptoms will be recorded using oral disease severity score criteria
Secondary outcomes
Change in the number of CD4+ and CD8+T lymphocyte count pre and post-treatment in cases of oral lichen planus
Each case will be biopsied, the tissue will be processed and quantified for CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes by immunohistochemistry
