  • Other Comments: This study seems to be interesting and informative. Few grammatical mistakes are there such as no full stop in conclusion, 5th line. This study seems to be very promising in the establishment of the role of stress in oral erosive lichen planus.

  • Other Comments: there are few errors in the typed article which are as follows: 1. 2nd paragraph 6th line could be modified as 'oral lichen planus most often affects the post buccal mucosa and tongue which is usually in the erosive and non-erosive forms.'

  • Other Comments: The article seems very good and informative. The article requires minor grammatical corrections which are as follows: 1) In design and methods 'and' is repeated twice. A comma could be used by the authors after NEOLP instead of 'and'. 2) In the introduction, 2nd paragraph,2nd line 'women' could be used instead of 'females' and in the 4th line various or different could be added before 'forms of lichen planus'. 3) Illustrations of the legends 5, 6 and 7 are in capital letters while the other legends are in small letters.
