Mechanical stresses in the form of substrate rigidity， hydrostatic pressure， compressive， tensile and shear stress has been regarded as an important motive for the epithelial carcinogenesis brought about by the activation of Hippo signaling pathways。 Masticatory forces generated in edentulous patients with dentures are transferred directly to the palatal mucosa (maxillary denture) and alveolar mucosa (mandibular denture)。 Thus， the oral mucosa present underneath the dentures experiences compressive， shear and tensile stresses on a day-to-day basis。 These stresses can induce carcinogenesis by mechano-transduction and subsequent activation of numerous carcinogenesis relevant signaling pathways such as the HIPPO pathway。 With this contention in mind， we proposed a hypothesis， which explains the pathogenesis for the presence of oral squamous cell carcinoma in denture wearer patients。 Efforts were made to envisage the appropriate experimentations for the evaluation of the hypothesis。 As a therapeutic implication， flexible dentures， soft denture， or medicated dentures could be prescribed for the high-risk groups having potentially malignant lesions in the oral cavity。
