Diagnostic Utility of Cytokeratin 17 Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Review.

One of the most common oral malignancies is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Although the prevalence of oral cancer varies worldwide, it is generally agreed that the oral cavity is a common anatomical site for cancer, depending primarily on the country (and even particular region in some countries) and gender of the patients. Finding diagnostic markers for OSCC is critical for early diagnosis and personalised treatment of patients.

Dental considerations in the patient with Wilson's disease.

Wilson's disease was described by Wilson in 1912. It is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, a membrane-bound copper transporting ATPase. The deficiency of ATP7B protein impairs the biliary copper excretion, resulting in positive copper balance, hepatic copper accumulation, and copper toxicity from oxidant damage.

Evaluation of correlation of serum lipid profile in patients with oral cancer and precancer and its association with tobacco abuse.

Background: Cholesterol at either higher/lower level can be troublesome. Health issues related to higher than normal levels have received much public attention because of their relationship to incidence of heart disease, whereas implications of decreased cholesterol levels remain unclear. Present study tried to evaluate and correlate the decreased cholesterol levels in Oral cancer, Oral precancer and in tobacco abuse.
