Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the risk of malignant transformation in oral lichen planus (OLP) by analyzing the expression levels of potential precancerous biomarkers: p16, Ki-67, Bub-3, and SOX4.
  • Significant differences were found in p16 and Ki-67 positivity indices among OLP, oral dysplasia, and other conditions, indicating varying levels of malignancy risk.
  • The findings point to the need for monitoring specific OLP lesions due to their intermediate malignant potential, especially highlighting the different behavior of SOX4 in oral dysplasia compared to OLP.
