Key Points

Beta-HPV-49 was significantly more prevalent in the saliva of oral lichen planus patients, indicating a possible link with the condition.
The study reports that there is no relationship between high-risk human papillomaviruses and oral lichen planus status.
Observational analysis focused on the prevalence of HPV DNA in saliva among patients with oral lichen planus.
These findings may highlight the role of specific HPV types in oral lichen planus, suggesting further exploration is warranted.

Implication

Analysis found increased Beta-HPV-49 in saliva of patients with oral lichen planus, indicating potential viral associations.

Abstract

Beta-HPV-49 was significantly more prevalent in the saliva of patients with OLP. There was no relationship between HR HPVs and the OLP status, which represents the difference between OLP studied in this research and other OPMDs.
