8-Isoprostane: A salivary oxidative stress biomarker for oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma

Conclusion: The results showed that the concentration of isoprostane in saliva showed a progressive and steady increase from control through OSMF to OSCC indicating that saliva could be used as an effective diagnostic tool in estimating tumor markers. Large scale studies correlating with other potentially malignant oral disorders are required to ascertain the role of 8-Isoprostane as an ideal tumor marker.
