Hypovitaminosis D in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma: Is a risk factor of developing this neoplasia?

Background: Hypovitaminosis D raised a significant public health concern due to its potential association with various diseases, including Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). The objective of this study was to compare serum 25(OH)D3 levels between individuals with and without OSCC, and by subgroups based on their smoking habits.

Material And Methods: A case-control study was conducted utilizing progressive multicenter recruitment, involving 46 patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and 65 controls.

Comparison of Salivary Electrolytes Profile in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Objectives: to determine salivary electrolyte concentration of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. A related systematic review was performed.

Methods: Observational study.
