Abstract
Introduction: Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has recently developed as a novel diagnostic device for screening and evaluating cervical dysplasia, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and basal cell carcinoma. The current study aimed to validate and evaluate bioimpedance as a diagnostic tool for tobacco-induced oral lesions.
Methodology: The study comprised 50 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) tissue specimens for in vitro study and 320 subjects for in vivo study. Bioimpedance device prepared and calibrated. EIS measurements were done for the habit and control groups and were compared.
Results: The impedance value in the control group was significantly higher compared to the OPMD and OSCC groups. Diagnosis based on bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements has a sensitivity of 95.9% and a specificity of 86.7%.
Conclusion: Bioimpedance device can help in decision-making for differentiating OPMD and OSCC cases and their management, especially in primary healthcare settings.
期刊介绍:
The journal Contemporary Clinical Dentistry (CCD) (Print ISSN: 0976-237X, E-ISSN:0976- 2361) is peer-reviewed journal published on behalf of Maharishi Markandeshwar University and issues are published quarterly in the last week of March, June, September and December. The Journal publishes Original research papers, clinical studies, case series strictly of clinical interest. Manuscripts are invited from all specialties of Dentistry i.e. Conservative dentistry and Endodontics, Dentofacial orthopedics and Orthodontics, Oral medicine and Radiology, Oral pathology, Oral surgery, Orodental diseases, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Clinical aspects of Public Health dentistry and Prosthodontics. Review articles are not accepted. Review, if published, will only be by invitation from eminent scholars and academicians of National and International repute in the field of Medical/Dental education.
