Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels among patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), leukoplakia, and a control group to explore potential links to oral cancer.
- OSMF and leukoplakia are recognized as precursors to oral malignancy, with OSMF showing a notable transformation rate in India; the research employs a specific immunoassay to measure IgA levels in patients.
- Findings suggest that the immunological changes in OSMF and leukoplakia are similar to those in oral cancer, indicating these conditions may serve as indicators of an increased risk for malignancy and highlighting the importance of early detection.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the lip prints of Indian twins and non-twin siblings to evaluate the existence of heredity in the lip prints of these individuals.
Materials And Methods: The study employed a blind, cross-sectional, quantitative approach with an inductive method and extensive direct observation. The sample consisted of 30 twins and 30 non-twin siblings, divided into three groups based on gender with 10 subjects in each subgroup.
