Introduction: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) such as oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) has revealed inconclusive reports. Studies on loss of type IV collagen expression in oral epithelial dysplasias (OEDs) an...
