Very few studies have been conducted to evaluate changes in oral mucosa in IDA. The present study is undertaken for cytomorphometric analysis of buccal mucosal cells in IDA. Nuclear diameter (ND), cell diameter (CD), nuclear area (NA), cell area (CA), and nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio (N\/C) are measured and compared in buccal mucosal cells of IDA patients and controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate cytomorphometric changes in epithelial cells of oral mucosa in IDA and to compare these changes with the controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Settings and Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Materials:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty cases of IDA and forty cases of control group were selected for the study.

Knowledge of quantitative alterations in oral epithelial cells of IDA patients is important as these alterations are similar to those seen in precancerous and radiation-induced changes. Cytomorphometry is an efficient tool to understand the extent of cellular changes that occur in oral epithelial cells in IDA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_43_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,19]],"date-time":"2024-01-19T04:39:07Z","timestamp":1705639147000},"page":"56-61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cytomorphometric analysis of buccal mucosal cells in iron deficiency anemia: A cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"S Patil","family":"Swati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sinhgad Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J Palaskar","family":"Sangeeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sinhgad Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R Narang","family":"Bindiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sinhgad Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B Pawar","family":"Rasika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sinhgad Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T Kathuriya","family":"Pargatsingh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Dental Practitioner, Dr. D.
