Oxidative stress (OS), an imbalance in the oxidant–antioxidant equilibrium, is thought to be
involved in the development of many seemingly unrelated diseases. Oral cavity tissues are a …

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals are physiologically produced
during cellular metabolism. When their balance is disrupted in favor of ROS, a condition …
