Abstract

Objective:

To estimate serum vitamin C levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.

Blood samples were collected
from all 60 subjects. Estimation of Serum vitamin C levels was carried out by using ELISA method.

Results:

The mean age of participants in our study was 42.15±17.24. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was observed normal 30(100%) by comparing with healthy control 29(96.7%) having p value (3.13).
