- Oral cancer is a significant health issue, particularly for individuals over 50, and this study investigates the link between certain genetic variations (polymorphisms) in the XRCC genes and the risk of developing oral cancer.
- The analysis included data from fifteen studies, evaluating various XRCC gene polymorphisms, particularly focusing on XRCC1 and XRCC2, and found significant associations between specific alleles and oral cancer risk.
- The study concluded that the T allele and CT genotype of the XRCC1 rs1799782 polymorphism increase the risk of oral cancer, while the G allele and GG genotype of the XRCC2 rs2040639 polymorphism appear to provide some level of protection.
Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are characterized by pain or discomfort in the temporomandibular joint, periauricular region, masticatory muscles, and neck on one or both sides. It may also be associated with joint sounds, restricted mandibular movements and mandibular deviation. Oxidative agents may have a deleterious role in the pathogenesis of joint diseases, and oxidative stress can lead to TMD.

The meta-analysis aimed to assess the serum and salivary levels of Igs as more important immunoglobulins in patients affected by oral lichen planus (OLP) compared to the healthy controls. Four databases, including PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library as well as Iranian databases were checked up to January 2018 without language restriction.

Objective: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has a role in the progression of the oral lichen planus (OLP). The aim of this meta-analysis study was to evaluate the salivary and serum TNF-α levels in patients with OLP.
Study Design: We searched in the databases of PubMed/Medline, Science direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for studies reported from 1983 to 2016.
