Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To estimate and Compare of salivary antioxidant level {Uric acid (UA), Glutathione S Transferase (GST) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD)} between healthy control and study group (oral squamous cell carcinoma patients).Further comparison of sub division of study group on the basis of clinical staging and histological grading.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study group consists of 50 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 50 healthy patients. These parameters were estimated by spectrophotometer. The biochemical values of this study were subjected to statistical analysis i.e. Independent t-test, ANOVA and Tukey test.
RESULT
UA suggested statistically significant changes in saliva of clinical staging and histological grading of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients. Salivary SOD level between well to poorly differentiated SCC showed a progressive increase although it is not statistically significant.
CONCLUSION
Salivary analysis of antioxidant is simple, non-invasive technique which may be useful as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic marker.
