Abstract:Background: Smoking is a well-known risk factor for various health problems, including oral cancer. P16 and P53 proteins are involved in cell cycle regulation and proliferation, and their expression levels can provide insights into cellular health.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the cellular changes and immunohistochemistry expression of p53 and p16 in the oral mucosa among Saudi smokers.
Method: In a cross-sectional study obtained by scraping the buccal mucosa, 1000 samples were … Show more
