ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the adhesion to buccal epithelial cells of Candida albicans isolates from erosive oral lichen planus (OLP) and nonerosive OLP, and its role in the development of OLP.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 112 isolates, comprising healthy control (26), erosive OLP (62) and nonerosive OLP (24), were screened for the adhesion by using buccal epithelial cell (BEC) assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The adhesion to buccal epithelial cells of the isolates from erosive OLP group was stronger than that of those from healthy control.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Candida albicans, some isolates with a special virulence attribute may contribute to the occurrence and progression of erosive OLP.</p>
