Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of uncertain etiology. When the gingiva is affected, the LP can appear under several clinical forms. The diagnosis of the gingival lichen planus is based on the anamnesis, the clinical observation and the histological analysis. Various medicamentous and non medicamentous treatments are used to treat gingival LP with random results, due to the lack of knowledge on the etiology and the recidiving character of the lesions. The risk of malignant transformation of gingival LP is weak but it depends on clinical forms, justifying a periodic follow-up of all patients.
扁平苔藓（LP）是一种病因不明的慢性炎症性疾病。当牙龈受到影响时，LP可呈现多种临床形式。牙龈扁平苔藓的诊断基于病史、临床观察和组织学分析。由于对病因和病变复发特征缺乏了解，各种药物和非药物治疗用于治疗牙龈LP，效果不一。牙龈LP恶变的风险较低，但取决于临床形式，这使得对所有患者进行定期随访很有必要。
