ABSTRACT Aim The present study was undertaken to study the role of nitric oxide in human saliva and its diagnostic/prognostic role in recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) and oral lichen planus (OLP). Materials and methods The study was carried out at outpatient department of Govt Dental College and Hospital, Aurangabad. Twenty cases with RAU, 15 with OLP and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. The clinically diagnosed known cases of RAU and OLP were included after taking the detail case history and subjected to blood analysis for hemogram and biochemically salivary nitric oxide was estimated. Results The salivary nitric oxide levels were found to be increased significantly in RAU and OLP group, when compared with controls. Further, significantly increased levels have been observed in OLP group, when compared with RAU group (p < 0.001). The salivary nitric oxide levels were found to be increased significantly in minor RAU than major RAU and increased in erosive type of OLP than nonerosive type of OLP. Conclusion Thus, salivary nitric oxide can be treated as a diagnostic tool for the differential diagnosis of RAU and OLP. Clinical significance Nitric oxide plays an important role in modifying physiopathological processes of oral mucosal membrane so has diagnostic as well as prognostic value.

Abstract Lichen planus (LP) is considered to be a T-cell-mediated inflammatory disorder. Inflammation is considered to produce disturbances of lipid metabolism which may affect the myocardium. Increased P-Wave Dispersion (PWD) is demonstrated as an independent risk factor for developing atrial fibrillation (AF). Hence the present study has been conducted to explore the possible relationship of oral lichen planus (OLP) with AF by the evaluation of PWD. Twelve-lead electrocardiographs (ECG) were obtained from 45 OLP patients and 45 age and gender-matched healthy controls. The P-wave durations (Pmax and Pmin) were calculated in all 12 leads. The difference between Pmax and Pmin was defined as P-Wave Dispersion (PWD). After the PWD was recorded, the results were statistically analyzed. The study showed that PWD increased on surface ECG measurements in OLP patients who were otherwise asymptomatic in relation to cardiac conditions. The p value obtained was <0.001 which was highly significant. The present study suggests a highly statistically significant association of OLP with increased P-wave dispersion. Hence the patients with OLP should undergo cardiac evaluation and follow up for early detection of atrial fibrillation.
