The assessment of efficiency of the method for determining nuclear disorders in epithelial cells for early diagnostics of oral mucosal diseases

Clinical dental examination and cytologic analysis of the oral mucosal smears taken from students with somatic pathology and without it as well as those of non smoking students and smokers with various duration of smoking were performed to assess efficiency of the method for determining nuclear abnormalities in epithelial cells for early diagnostics of oral mucosal diseases. Direct correlation between frequency and intensity of nuclear disorders occurrence in oral mucosal epithelium, factor and duration of smoking as well as the presence of somatic pathology was revealed. The results obtained showed that the method for assessing nuclear disorders in buccal epithelial cells for preclinical diagnostics of oral pathology was highly informative and non-invasive.
