Abstract
Background: Leukoplakia which is also a form of cancer is now becoming deadly if not treated properly. This is more manifested in smokers, or in a way, we can say that smoking is one causative reason for leukoplakia. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the level of salivary thiocyanate (SCN) with or without leukoplakia. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on subjects who are habitual to smoking with or without leukoplakia reporting to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, SIMATS, Chennai, India. A sample size of 20 was taken for the study and biochemical tests were done and the results obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: The level of SCN is observed higher among smokers with leukoplakia than smokers without leukoplakia. Conclusion: This study shows that the patients who have high levels of cigarette intake induced leukoplakia have higher the chances of getting oral carcinoma and, hence, measuring SCN levels as non-invasive method to identify a biomarker for leukoplakia.
