N2 - The aim of this study was to elucidate any association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and serum antioxidant micronutrients by a population-based case-control study. A total of 9536 subjects were examined, and 62 (58 reticular, 4 atrophic and erosive) diagnosed with OLP at referral facilities were compared with four controls per case (n=248) selected among disease-free subjects matched for age and sex. Serum levels of micronutrients (retinol, alpha -tocopherol, zeaxanthin/lutein and cryptoxanthin, lycopene, alpha -carotene and beta -carotene) were estimated by the high performence liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Among cases, mean serum retinol level (2.820 +/-0.849 mu mol/l) was significantly higher compared with that of controls (2.562 +/-0.735 mu mol/l) (P
