ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the pschological status of the patients with oral lichen planus disease (OLP) . Methods: 100 patients with OLP and 100 healthy controls were included. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), neuroticism extraversion openness (NEO) and WHOQOL-BREF were used to analyze the life quality and pschology of the subjects.Andrenocor-cicotropin (ACTH) and cortisol (CORT) in serum were measured. The relationship between OLP and mental illness, stress, personality traits and life quality was analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences of gender and age between the case group and the control group (P＞ 0. 05) . There were significant differences of the SAS score, SDS score, NEO score, WHOQOLBREF score and the level of ACTH and CORT (P ＜ 0. 05) in serum between the 2 groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety, depression, personality and life quality were the influencing factors of OLP prevalence. Conclusion: The development of OLP may be related to psychological status, depression, stress, anxiety and so on.
