Abstract

Due to change in lifestyle, sports drink has grown rapidly in few years. Energy drinks intensify physical stamina, stimulate metabolism, prevent exsiccation and exchange electrolytes during activity attempts. In spite of its vogue, these energy drinks have a low pH and are acidulous in nature,it can cause erosion of dentin and enamel surfaces, lead to permanent loss of tooth bulk and rise in sensitivity of dentin. In addition to this all kind of sports drinks also cause massive destruction of tooth structure as well as restorative materials used. These energy drinks restrain unnatural colours which is likely to cause discoloration composite materials and glass ionomer cements. Acidic nature of the energy drinks could lead to a deprivation, increase in wear and roughen the surface of restorative materials. Many unfavourable outcomes of sport and energy drinks can be related due to consumption among age below 18.

The purpose of this article is to explore the role of blood biomarkers such as Antioxidants, Trace elements, proteins, antibodies etc to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and premalignant lesions (PML). Key biological molecules or markers that can be linked to cancer development, risk assessment, screening, repetition probability, indicating prognosis, indicating invasion and monitoring therapeutic responses of cancer which are identified with Molecular biology and oncology research studies on oral cancer biomarkers.

Abstract

A combined education, promotion, and preventive program in the school would enormously diminish the predominance of prevalent oral diseases like dental caries and gingivitis seen in children and young adolescents. Comprehensive school programs also would preclude the loss of study time due to pain and apprehension before and after treatment. Need of the hour is to develop the best projects for promoting oral wellbeing in schools with emphasis on school-based facilities. The essential objective of school oral health promotion programs centers around the 3 M’s-manpower, money, material, in addition to the amount of classroom time it will take from conventional classroom education.
