Article Synopsis
- Hepatic disorders often progress silently and are usually detected only when liver function is significantly impaired, making early diagnosis challenging.
- Oral lichen planus (OLP) is frequently associated with Hepatitis C and can serve as an early warning sign for the disease, particularly in patients with chronic HCV infection.
- This case report highlights the importance of dentists in diagnosing and managing OLP, emphasizing their role in treatment and the potential for early hepatitis C screening, as demonstrated by a female patient who achieved full remission through topical corticosteroids and oral sanitation.
