Cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide as salivary biomarkers in oral lichen planus: a systematic review
Abstract The etiopathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP) is still not fully elucidated, and it is believed that its development could involve a neuro-immune-endocrine profile. This systematic review investigated the relationship between cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide (NO) in the saliva of OL...
