| Abstract: |
All oral lichen ruber (OLR) cases seen at the Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dental Medicine University of Zagreb, from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1998, were included in this retrospective study. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of Candida (C. albicans) infection and burning mouth syndrome (BMS) in OLR patients. The mean age of the examined men and women was 53 and 55 years, respectively. In women, the prevalence of OLR was twice as high as in men (66.6% : 33.3%). OLR most commonly occured between the age of 40 and 60 years. The most frequent type of OLR was lichen planus (69%). C. albicans was detected in 75 of 174 (43.1%) patients, while BMS was present in 62 (35.6%) patients. There were 39 (22.4%) patients with candidiasis (without BMS), 26 (14.9%) with BMS (without candidiasis), and 36 (20.7%) with both candidiasis and BMS. The high prevalence of C. albicans infection and BMS concurrence indicates to the need for simultaneous treatment of both entities. |
