Abstract

Oral lichenoid reactions (OLRs) have been considered as variants of oral lichen planus. OLRs represent a type IV hypersensitivity reaction and mostly affect the oral mucosa when comes in direct contact with drugs or dental materials. OLRs can cause functional difficulty and significant discomfort in the patients, and hence, oral physicians should be aware of such reactions, its etiology, site of occurrence, diagnosis, and management. Here, we report a case of OLR of the right and left buccal mucosa associated with the use of a tooth paste in a 10yearoldfemale child. Healing of the lesion was noted following the disuse of the toothpaste.
