Background: Many systemic disorders have been seen in association with OLP and have been attributed to the causation of OLP. Recently hypothyroidism has been associated with OLP. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between OLP and hypothyroidism by measuring the thyroid hormone levels in OLP patients. Materials and methods: 100 OLP patients were selected from the outpatient clinic of oral medicine and radiology with 100 controls which matched the cases in all demographic characters except the absence of disease were also selected. Results: There was statistically significant association between OLP and hypothyroidism in the present study when compared with the controls. Conclusion: From the present study it is concluded that thyroid profile should be routinely done in OLP patients to rule out hypothyroidism among kashmiri population.
