Adults 29 to 71, any sex, with Saliva or Oral Lichen Planus. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

The goal of this observational study is to compare salivary proteome profiles in patients with Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), Oral Leukoplakia (OL), and healthy individuals without oral mucosal disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do salivary protein expression patterns differ between patients with OLP, OL, and healthy controls? 2. Can specific differentially expressed proteins serve as potential biomarkers for distinguishing OLP and OL from each other and from healthy individuals? Researchers will compare salivary proteomic profiles from patients with OLP, patients with OL, and healthy controls to determine whether measurable differences in protein expression exist between the groups. Participants will: 1. Provide unstimulated saliva samples collected as part of the study protocol. 2. Undergo grouping based on clinical diagnosis (OLP, OL, or healthy control), after which samples will be pooled and analyzed using nano-liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS) and label-free protein quantification methods.
