The study aimed to compare salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and total protein (TP) in patients suffering from oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), against healthy control. Salivary total protein was found to be higher in OSCC patients than OLP patients but the IgA level was similar in these patients.
