Abstract:
In recent years, the range of indications for dental implants has undergone many modifications and has been widened. In the past, oral lichen planus was regarded as contraindication for the placement of implants. According to recent literature, some patients with oral lichen planus have been selected for dental implantology, indicating comparable implant survival rate to patients without oral lichen planus. Nevertheless, clinical information on this topic is still scarce and evidence-based treatment guidelines are not available. This paper reviews the research progress of dental implant in patients with oral lichen planus, discusses the benefits and risks of implant rehabilitation in this group of patients and proposes treatment recommendations based on existing studies.
