In this case report of a 45-year-old female patient, multiple implants were placed in five different sextants at different time points. Notably, oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) occurred in three sextants following implant placement, strongly suggesting that the dental implants or prostheses were the causative factors for OLL. The lesion was of the reticular type with erythematous surroundings and was symptomatic. Although several conservative treatments, including repeated topical application of corticosteroids, were repeatedly continued, no discernible improvement or alleviation of symptoms was observed. Consequently, surgical excision and replacement of the lesion with a free gingival graft (FGG) harvested from the palatal soft tissue were performed. No clinical symptoms or recurrence of lesions were observed during 10 years of follow-up post-FGG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59122188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]],"date-time":"2023-12-18T05:41:35Z","timestamp":1702878095000},"page":"2188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Oral Lichenoid Lesion following Dental Implant Placement and Successful Management with Free Gingival Graft: A Case Report with 10-Year Follow-Up"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Won-Bae","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, Seoul 02771, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junghun","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8762-6169","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seungil","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Kyung Hee University School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University Medical Center, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji-Youn","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Kyung Hee University School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University Medical Center, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"332","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oooo.2016.05.004","article-title":"Diagnosis of oral lichen planus: A position paper of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"122","author":"Cheng","year":"2016","journal-title":"Oral Surg.
