- The study aimed to explore the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and two conditions: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), an immune system disease, and Oral Lichenoid Contact Lesions (OLCL), an allergic reaction to dental materials.
- A total of 60 participants, including 20 with OLCL, 23 with OLP, and 20 healthy controls, underwent biopsies, saliva, and blood tests to detect the presence of EBV DNA using Real-time PCR.
