Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY: To correlate between Serum and salivary Vitamin C and Iron levels in Oral Submucous Fibrosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects in the age group of 18-60 years were included in the study, among which 25 healthy cases were grouped as Control group and 25 Oral Submucous Fibrosis patients were grouped as case group. In both the groups, Serum and Salivary Vitamin C and Iron levels were estimated using dinitrophenylhydrazine method and colorimetric methods respectively. RESULTS: The average mean value of serum and salivary iron levels of OSMF patients were lesser than the control group. Similarly, the average mean value of serum and salivary vitamin C levels were lower than the control group. Serum levels of iron and vitamin C were significantly correlated with the salivary iron and vitamin C levels. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that decrease in salivary iron levels could be used as a potential prognostic and diagnostic markers in OSMF patients and can be used to correlate with the degree of clinical grading. Concerted efforts of assessing salivary levels of iron and vitamin C would, therefore, help in early detection, successful therapeutics and monitoring the efficacy of treatment as a non-invasive technique in the Oral submucous fibrosis patients.
