ABSTRACT
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) causes desmoplasia and rigidity of submucosa of the oral cavity, resulting in reduced mouth opening, and in advanced stage causes difficulty in swallowing. OSMF has poor morbidity in terms of oral function as well as general health due to loss of oral function, such as eating. In severe conditions, it can cause dysphagia and hearing loss. Various clinicians have tried the different treatment modalities to reverse the disease process, but with limited success and that too in alleviating the associated symptoms.
