Background and Aim: Oral Lichen Planus is a relatively common mucocutaneous disorder with autoimmune etiology. Considering its malignant potential, diagnosing and treating this disorder from all dimensions is crucial. One such multi-dimensional aspect of OLP was aimed to be put forth through our study of the correlation of anxiety, depression, and xerostomia using questionnaires. Materials and Methods: A group of 15 Oral Lichen Planus patients included in this study from outpatients in a college in Uttar Pradesh. The symptoms of Anxiety-Depression disorder and salivary gland disorders in oral lichen planus were recorded using two standard questionnaires, and their correlation was assessed using student’s t-test analysis. Results: The co-occurrence of symptoms of both disorders in Oral Lichen Planus patients was statistically significant. The results demonstrate an association between anxiety, depression, and xerostomia in Oral Lichen Planus patients. Conclusion: Most patients showed the simultaneous occurrence of all three parameters in the same patients, thus indicative of a positive correlation between themselves.
