Sažetak
Some results in the literature point out at the possible connection of oral lichen planus and thyroid gland disease. The aim of our case- control pilot study was to determine the prevalence of thyroid gland diseases and hormone levels in female patients with oral lichen planus and age and gender matched control group of patients. Activity of oral lichen planus was also noted. Significant difference between oral lichen planus and control group was observed only in values of free triiodothyronine. Our results have not shown a relationship between oral lichen planus and thyroid gland disorders. Future well- designed studies with larger number of patients are needed.
