Role of Food Supplements in Premalignant Lesions: A Literature Review
Abstract: Premalignant lesions of the oral cavity are histopathological alterations in the oral epithelium linked to a higher likelihood of malignant transformation. These lesions frequently present as leukoplakia (white patches), erythroplakia (red patches), oral lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis. Oral cancer, categorized among head and neck malignancies, is considered the sixth most common cancer globally. While tobacco and alcohol consumption remain the primary etiological factors, increasing evidence underscores the significant …

Is Tissue Platelet Count an Important Diagnostic Tool for Oral Cancer?
Abstract: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related deaths and a major challenge in today’s cancer management. Although many new therapies against malignant tumors have been developed over the last few years, the prognosis of most malignancies remains unfavorable, once metastatic spread has occurred. There are plethora of studies indicating that the interaction of tumor cells with platelets within the bloodstream is essential during this early phase of metastasis. Ironically, however, …

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Cellular Phones: Controversy over Oral Carcinoma
Abstract: All electrical and electronic devices, anywhere where electricity (electrons) flows through wire, set up magnetic fields (EMFs=low frequency electromagnetic fields). Generation of EMFs occurs when there is any significant flow of electricity. EMFs are alternating fields that center on frequencies up to 300 Hz (radiation in the microwave range). The risk from EMFs occurs from significant exposure from high-voltage power lines or in substation transformers, microwave ovens, cellular phones, appliances …

Oral Health wsr to Dental Fluorosis: A Review
Abstract: Dental fluorosis occurs due to the hypo mineralization of tooth enamel. This can lead to discoloration of the teeth. Mild and very mild fluorosis can cause teeth to look whiter, and therefore, it can improve esthetic perceptions of teeth, thereby leading to better OHRQoL (Oral Health related quality of Life). On the other hand, moderate and severe fluorosis can cause more noticeable tooth discoloration and, in some cases, even loss …
