After data extraction, Excel 2016 and CiteSpace software were used to carry out descriptive and visual analysis.Results A total of 3 105 articles and reviews were included, and the annual publication volume showed a steady growth trend. The research hotspot terms of oral lichen planus were cancer, lesion, and management of the disease. Moreover, pathogenesis, potentially malignant disorder, classification, and diagnosis were defined as novel research frontiers.Conclusions Through the bibliometric method, the research hotspots and frontiers of oral lichen planus are displayed intuitively, which provides references for future research.
