This review provides an overview of ferroptosis mechanisms and their implications for OSCC pathobiology and therapy. OSCC cells exhibit heightened reliance on anti-ferroptotic defenses such as GPX4, SLC7A11, FSP1, and Nrf2, and disrupting these pathways suppresses tumor growth and restores sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Genetic and epigenetic regulators, including p53, PER1, circ_0000140, and STARD4-AS1, critically modulate ferroptotic sensitivity, while metabolic enzymes such as ACSL4, LPCAT3, and TPI1 link ferroptosis to cellular plasticity and resistance. Preclinical studies highlight the promise of small-molecule inhibitors, repurposed agents (e.g., sorafenib, artesunate, trifluoperazine), natural compounds (e.g., piperlongumine, Evodia lepta, quercetin), and nanomedicine platforms for targeted ferroptosis induction. We further address ferroptosis within the tumor microenvironment, highlighting its immunogenic and context-dependent dual roles, and summarize genomic and transcriptomic evidence linking ferroptosis-related genes to patient prognosis. Beyond cancer, ferroptosis also contributes to non-malignant oral diseases, including pulpitis, periodontitis, and infection-associated inflammation, where inhibitors may protect tissues. Despite these advances, clinical translation is constrained by the lack of safe ferroptosis inducers and validated biomarkers. Future research should focus on developing pharmacologically viable GPX4 inhibitors, refining biomarker-driven patient stratification, and designing multimodal regimens that combine ferroptosis induction with standard therapies while preserving immune and tissue integrity. Ferroptosis therefore represents both a mechanistic framework and a translational opportunity to reshape oral oncology and broader oral disease management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells14211685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]],"date-time":"2025-10-28T11:47:19Z","timestamp":1761652039000},"page":"1685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Ferroptosis in Oral Cancer: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Prospects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1184-1756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaewang","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam 13488, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Logsynk, Seoul 06153, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1537-1977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jong-Lyel","family":"Roh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam 13488, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Science, General Graduate School, CHA University, Pocheon 11160, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1038\/s41368-023-00249-w","article-title":"Oral squamous cell carcinomas: State of the field and emerging directions","volume":"15","author":"Tan","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int.
