Background Cigarette smoke has been identified as the main cause of oral cavity carcinoma. Recently, the electronic cigarette, a battery-operated device, was developed to help smokers stop their tobacco addiction. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of electronic cigarettes and to establish the possible role of such device in the primary prevention of oral cavity cancer. Subjects and Methods This study included 65 subjects who were divided into three groups (smokers, e-cigarette smokers, and nonsmokers). All subjects were submitted to cytologic examination by scraping of oral mucosa. The slides were microscopically evaluated through a micronucleus assay test. Results The prevalence of micronuclei was significantly decreased in the e-cigarette smoker group. There were no statistically significant differences in micronuclei distribution according to the type of cigarette, gender, and age. Conclusions The use of electronic cigarettes seems to be safe for oral cells and should be suggested as an aid to smoking cessation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The aims of the study were to know whether the increase in the depth of invasion in oral cavity carcinoma assessed histopathologically and radiologically co-relates with neck node metastasis and to accurately co-relate the radiological thickness at which neck dissection is required.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective study has been conducted over thirty patients with oral cavity carcinoma (buccal mucosa and tongue) in the time period of April 2018 to December 2018 who were operated in our tertiary care hospital.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Depth of invasion is relatable histopathologically and radiologically, is directly proportional to neck node metastasis. Pre-operative radiology is a reliable modality to rule out the need of neck node dissection.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Depth of invasion is directly proportional to the incidence of neck node metastasis and pre-operative radiology has been reliable to rule out the need of neck dissection and reduce its morbidity.</p>
