Abstract
Lichenoid lesions are very similar to lichen planus lesions histopathologically and clinically in form, extend, and occasional associated pain. Many drugs are capable of inducing them in the oral mucosa. Lichenoid reactions should be evoked in the context of the introduction of a new treatment. The duration of onset of lichenoid lesions varies widely, ranging from 2 weeks to a few months. These lesions generally regress with the suppression of the cause sometimes leaving cheloid type scars in the oral mucosa.
