Association of micronuclear frequency with dysplasia and cytogenetic changes (p53 mutation and p16 expression) in oral potentially malignant disorders

Conclusion: Micronuclear frequency can be a reliable marker of mutagenic change in OPMDs. Cytological assessment of micronuclei can serve as useful, non-invasive, and relatively inexpensive tool to predict cancerous changes in OPMDs.
