MICRO RNA IN ORAL DISEASE - AN EMERGING AVENUE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY

Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of gene expression in various biological processes, including those associated with oral health and disease. This review explores the current understanding of the roles played by miRNAs in oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal diseases, oral cancer, and other oral pathologies. ^[1] We discuss the potential applications of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in oral disease management. Additionally, we highlight the challenges and future perspectives in harnessing the power of miRNAs for personalized oral disease treatments.
