Background: Oral lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease with an uncertain aetiology. OLP is predominantly seen in middle aged women. The symmetric lesions of OLP are often accompanied by burning sensation. The lesions have a low risk of malignant transformation. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics among patients visiting the out-patient department. Material and Method: This study was conducted for a duration of 1 year. Patients diagnosed with OLP according to the modified WHO diagnostic criteria and histopathological examination were included in the study. Demographic data, detailed history and clinical findings of the patients with OLP were recorded. Results: Among a total of 15,670 individuals examined, 8973 (57.26%) were male and 6877 (42.74%) were female. Patients diagnosed with OLP were 85, among whom 44 (51.8%) were female and 41 (48.2%) were male. The overall prevalence of OLP is 0.54%. Symptomatic OLP was noted in 77.6 % of the patients. The most frequently affected oral sites were buccal mucosa, tongue and gingiva. The most frequently associated systemic diseases were diabetes and hypertension. Conclusion: The data observed is mostly similar to previous studies reported. Difference in geographic area and number of enrolled patients may justify the observed differences.
