慢性牙周炎与口腔扁平苔藓相关性研究进展

Research progress on the correlation between chronic periodontitis and oral lichen planus

慢性牙周炎是发生在牙周支持组织的慢性感染性疾病,口腔扁平苔藓是口腔黏膜最常见的慢性炎症性疾病之一。糜烂型口腔扁平苔藓更常伴随慢性牙周炎的发生,牙周局部刺激因素也可加重其症状。流行病学上二者均高发于中老年人群,且在发病机制上慢性牙周炎与口腔扁平苔藓都与免疫、遗传和微生物感染等因素密切相关。本文将对慢性牙周炎与口腔扁平苔藓的相关性作一综述。

Chronic periodontitis(CP) is a kind of chronic infectious disease that occurs in the teeth-supporting tissues. Oral lichen planus(OLP) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases in the oral mucosa. Erosive oral lichen planus is more often associated with chronic periodontitis, and periodontal local stimulation may also aggravate the symptoms of erosive oral lichen planus. Epidemiologically, both of CP and OLP have a high incidence in the elderly population. And they are also closely related to immune factors, genetic factors, microbial infection and other factors in the pathogenesis. This paper will review the correlation between chronic periodontitis and oral lichen planus.
