Abstract
The salivary concentrations of alpha L fucosidase (AFU) and salic acid (SA) in oral submucous fibrosis patients and compare it with healthy controls is of interest to dentists. 40 patients of OSMF and 40 healthy controls were included. Estimation of AFU and SA in saliva and serum was carried out in every patient. The serum level of AFU was 37.4±26.8 in OSMF patients and saliva level of AFU was 35.4±14.5. The serum level of AFU was 19.2±4.3 in control group and saliva level of AFU was 35.4±14.5 in control group. The serum level of SA was 20.32±2.71 in OSMF patients and saliva level of SA was 18.21±2.40. The serum level of SA was 4.89 ±1.17 in control group and saliva level of SA was 3.13 ±1.04 in control group. Estimation of concentration of SA and AFU in saliva can be effective biomarker in diagnosis of OSMF.
