<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune mediated interface mucositis of oral mucosa. Though the apoptosis of keratinocytes is a feature of OLP, not much is known about the clearance of cell debris (efferocytosis) resulting from apoptosis. We postulate that there is a defective or delayed efferocytosis in OLP, which may have a role in modulating the immune response in O...
