The present study was conducted to correlate clinical staging with histopathological grading in patients of OSMF. Material and methods: The present study comprised of 50 patients of OSMF, which were evaluated for the age, sex, site, habit and clinical stage and were correlated with histological grading. Results: OSMF was reported as more in younger age group with a male predominance. Smokeless tobacco particularly arecanut and gutka showed a strong association in early development of OSMF. Conclusion:Though the present study showed no significant correlation between clinicalstaging and histopathological grading with p=0.635. This difference may be attributed toseverity and amount of fibrosis in various parts of the oral mucosa.
