Probablynot: Cuts in general will not cause cancer. But a chronic abuse by chemicals and /or heat (like smoking or smokeless tobacco) will do that. If you are prone towards cuts in your mouth...Then change your habits.

No: No relationship between a cut and causation of cancer.

No, but: Cuts, no. But constant repetitive trauma can compromise tissues. So if you have a sharp edge on a restoration, or a broken tooth that's irritating your gums, see your Dentist ASAP.
