Expression and role of p53 in oral lichen planus patients.
CONCLUSION: We believe that low percentage of p53-positive and well-marked keratinocytes in OLP represent the influence of mutant p53 protein, and that increasing expression of this protein could serve as a valuable diagnostic sign of early carcinogenesis. According to our results intensity of p53 coloration of keratinocytes could help assessing the malignant potential of OLP.
