Dermatoglyphics in patients with oral potentially malignant diseases and oral cancer

Oral Cancer and Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders

Dermatoglyphics in Oral and Systemic Diseases

Background: Dermatoglyphics refers to the study of epidermal ridge patterns of fingers, palms and soles of hand and feet. Fingerprint develops completely at 24th week of embryonic life. Once formed, they are permanent and unalterable throughout the life, not affected by environmental factors. As dermatoglyphic patterns are assumed to be associated with genetic factors, the idea of using it as s...

quantitative immunoexpression of egfr in oral potentially malignant disorders: oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis

background and aims. many oral squamous cell carcinomas develop from potentially malignant disorders (pmds) which include a variety of lesions and conditions characterized by an increased risk for malignant transformation. this study evaluated the quantitative expression of egfr in normal oral mucosa, oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis to predict the malignant risk in compliance with ...

Dermatoglyphics in Health and Oral Diseases-A Review

Dermatoglyphics refers to study of the intricate dermal ridge configurations on the skin covering the palmar and plantar surfaces of hand and feet. It is a branch of physical anthropology, medicine and genetics. Dermatoglyphic patterns are assumed to be genetically controlled although the exact mechanism of inheritance in still unknown. After their complete formation, they are unaffected by the...

interdependence of antioxidants and micronutrients in oral cancer and potentially malignant oral disorders: a serum and saliva study.

in our previous studies we have evaluated the role of antioxidants and trace elements in potentially malignant disorders and cancers of the oral cavity, taking into consideration the importance of antioxidants as biomarkers in cancer detection. we felt that other than evaluation, the correlation and interdependence that existed among antioxidants and trace elements require further evaluation in...
