Oral Cancer and Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders

The oral microbiome community variations associated with normal, potentially malignant disorders and malignant lesions of the oral cavity.

The human oral microbiome has been known to show strong association with various oral diseases including oral cancer. This study attempts to characterize the community variations between normal, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and cancer associated microbiota using 16S rDNA sequencing. Swab samples were collected from three groups (normal, OPMD and oral cancer) with nine subjects fr...

Risk of the contralateral mucosa in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders.

BACKGROUND It is known that abnormal changes may occur in any part of the oral mucous membrane exposed to a carcinogen. Therefore patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) are at risk of developing similar lesions at multiple sites. OBJECTIVES To determine the risk of the contralateral mucosa in patients presenting with oral PMDs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty individuals with...
