The effort was to determine a parameter that will aid the initial diagnosis, a more efficient therapy plan, and ultimately a better prognosis. Participants in the study comprised 40 healthy normal volunteers, 60 patients diagnosed with leukoplakia, 60 patients diagnosed with OSCC, and 60 patients diagnosed with OSMF. After fasting for the whole night, blood samples were taken from each participant. There was analysis by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) for the determination of trace elements; iron, copper, and zinc. The serum levels of iron and zinc in normal subjects was greater as compared to patients with leukoplakia, OSMF and OSCC. There was increase in serum copper levels in patients with oral leukoplakia, OSMF and OSCC as compared with normal subjects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.6026\/973206300200660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T15:21:24Z","timestamp":1723044084000},"page":"660-664","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Serum iron, zinc and copper among Indian patients with leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.6026","volume":"20","author":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) dental college and hospital, Navi Mumbai, India","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratibha","family":"Kavle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rashi","family":"Dubey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, SharadPawar Dental College and Hospital(DattaMegheInstitute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed to be a University), Sawangi, Wardha, Maharashtra, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annaluru Sri Sasank","family":"Tejaswee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kalinga Institute of Dental Science, KIIT Deemed to Be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gunmeek","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, LuxmiBai Dental College and Hospital, Patiala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Animesh","family":"Mondal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Deptartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Dr.R.Ahmed Dental College & Hospital, Kolkata, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishal D","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedic, Dhramsinh Desai University, Nadiad, Gujarat, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keyur Jitendrakumar","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Government Medical College Surat, Gujarat, India; 8Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Manubhai Patel Dental College, Vadodara, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ansee Rameshbhai","family":"Vaghani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Manubhai Patel Dental College, Vadodara, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4070","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"container-title":["Bioinformation"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T15:21:25Z","timestamp":1723044085000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.bioinformation.net\/020\/973206300200660.htm"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.6026\/973206300200660","relation":{},"ISSN":["0973-8894","0973-2063"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0973-8894","type":"print"},{"value":"0973-2063","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]}}}
