“Estimation of Plasma Fibrinogen Degradation Products in Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Clinicopathologic Study”
Introduction: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder with a multifactorial etiology. Recent studies have shown that there are increased levels of fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in the plasma of OSMF patients suggesting its possible role in etiopathogenesis. Purpose: To assess the FDP levels in the plasma of OSMF patients in betel nut chewers and in healthy par...
متن کاملPresence of Helicobacter pylori in betel chewers and non betel chewers with and without oral cancers

Studies show that people with gum disease are more likely to test positive for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is not known if the lesions produced by betel quid and the resulting, chemical changes predispose to colonization by H. pylori. Further the role of this organism in oral cancer is not know...
متن کاملPalmar dermatoglyphics among gutkha chewers with and without oral submucous fibrosis
Background: Palmar dermatoglyphics has been and is being studied in many diseases and alterations in normal patterns have been noted. It has been an accepted fact that genetics plays an important role in determination of palmar dermatoglyphic patterns. Millions of people chew gutkha, but all of them do not suffer from oral submucous fibrosis (o.s.m.f.) It seems likely that a genetic predisposit...
متن کاملAreca nut and its role in oral submucous fibrosis

The seed or endosperm is consumed fresh, boiled or after sun drying or curing. Chewing areca nut is thought to have central nervous system stimulating effect and along with this it is known to have salivary stimulating and digestive properties. According t...
متن کاملAssessment of Salivary Flow Rate and pH Among Areca Nut Chewers and Oral Submucous Fibrosis Subjects: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND To assess and compare the salivary flow rate (SFR) and salivary pH among areca nut chewers, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients and apparently healthy individuals. METHODS A comparative study was conducted to assess and compare the SFR and pH among 135 outpatients (45 areca nut chewers + 45 OSMF + 45 control) at The Oxford Dental College and Research Hospital, Bangalore, India....
