ABSTRACT
Oral cancer represents the greatest cause of cancer-related morbidity and death in the majority of areas where tobacco use is common. There is accumulating evidence that the quantities of essential elements change with the beginning and progression of malignant disease. Essential elements operate as a micro-source in numerous metabolic reactions. To provide an area for the particularly important or necessary trace elements like selenium, excess of iodine (I), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and other minor elements other trace element disorders such as oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) are treated using antioxidants. However, even elevated ingestion of these trace elements such as copper could lead to oral submucosa disorder and the advancement of diversified oral diseases and conditions. Trace element enzymes play a very vital role in a variety of biological and chemical events. In redox operations, some trace elements are complicated. Oral potentially malignant fibrosis has a profound influence on the body and early oral symptoms are frequently used to diagnose such disorders. The objective is to elaborate on the role and significance of various trace elements in oral submucous fibrosis.
