Abstract : [Abstract] Carcinoma immortalized cells in the oral and maxillofacial region cause oral dysfunctions, i.e. ; in mastication, occlusion, swallowing, pronunciation, etc. It has been postulated that telomerase reactivation may control telomeric restriction fragment length (TRFL), telomeric stabilization senescence and cell immortalization thereby inducing carcinoma. This short review attends closely to the diagnostic capability of telomerase and TRFL. Also presented in this study is an examination of the relationship between telomere length, telomerase activity and the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
