Submucous Fibrosis

BACKGROUND Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is the most common precancerous lesion prevalent in Asian subcontinent and India. It raises concern among oral healthcare professionals because among all potentially malignant oral lesions and conditions, this precancerous condition has highest rates of malignant transformation. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of OSMF in habitual areca nut chewers among the patients attending the out-patient Department of Dentistry of Veer Surendra Sai Medical College and Hospital, Burla. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in dental out-patient department of Veer Surendra Sai Medical College and Hospital, Burla for a period of 3 years (January 2015 - December 2017). Individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Oral Submucous Fibrosis according to WHO were included in the study, after obtaining an informed consent and approval of Hospital Ethical Committee. A total of 36000 patients were screened, out of which 457 were included in the study. Specialist examiners carried out all oral examinations who were accustomed with oral mucosal lesions found among the local population. A sterile mouth mirror and examination gloves were used for intraoral examination. On the basis of age group, habit duration, and type of habit, the study was carried out. Shapiro‑Wilk test was used for assessing data distribution and Chi‑square test for comparing the categorical data. RESULTS The prevalence of OSMF was found to be more common among males than females, with 99.14 % in males as compared with 0.87 % in females. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 15 - 25 years (213 patients out of 457) which accounted for 46.6 % with most them in Stage II (69.01 %). 49.23 % of patients had habit duration of 3 - 7 years (225 out of 457) with the majority of them in stage II (60.88 %). CONCLUSIONS Increased occurrence of OSMF among the general population in India may be attributed to the sale of areca nut products especially gutkha and pan masala in public is precisely being targeted for the younger generation. Primary healthcare professionals and dentists should also help to cessation of these habits among the public by participating in the programs targeted to this cause.

Objective. To assess the prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders and to determine the potential risk factors for its development in Indian population.Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was carried out on 1241 individuals in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. A questionnaire was designed to record information about sociodemographic characteristics, oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and risk factors for oral potentially malignant disorders. Oral mucosal lesions were examined by a skilled person.Results. The overall prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders was found to be 13.7% with oral submucous fibrosis (8.06%) found to be more common and erythroplakia (0.24%) found to be least prevalent. Results of Logistic Regression analysis showed that males (OR = 2.09,Pvalue < 0.0001) who were ever consumers of tobacco (OR = 2.06,Pvalue = 0.030) and areca nut chewing (OR = 2.64,Pvalue = 0.004) were more likely to develop oral potentially malignant disorders compared to never consumers. Diabetic (OR = 2.21,Pvalue = 0.014) and underweight individuals (OR = 2.23,Pvalue = 0.007) were more likely to suffer from oral potentially malignant disorders.Conclusion. The study reinforces the association of tobacco and areca nut consumption with oral potentially malignant disorders. An association of oral potentially malignant disorders with diabetes and BMI was confirmed by this study.

Objective: To establish a correlation and evaluate paradigm shift of demographic parameters in oral submucous fibrosis patients due to use of areca nut and tobacco. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of the Study: Outpatient Department of Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital, Lahore from 1st November 2019 to 30th June 2021. Methodology: All patients with compliant of limited mouth opening and diagnosed clinically with oral submucous fibrosis were included. Biographical data was collected based on age, gender, literacy rate, socioeconomic conditions and habit of consumption of areca nut-based products and tobacco. Results: Prevalence of OSMF was 0.45% with mean age of 29.26±14.12 years. Areca nut alone is consumed more by females (44.12%) whereas combination of tobacco and areca nut use was higher in males (87.76%). Risk habits were found to be highest in uneducated/primary education (63.01%) and in low socioeconomic group (59.03%). Conclusion: Comparing the last two decades, there is paradigm shift in age of contracting OSMF towards younger age. Significant finding of areca nut use by females also draws attention for control measures. Harmful effects of areca nut and tobacco products should be highlighted and included in educational and community programs.

ABSTRACT Introduction Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a well-known premalignant condition. Use of areca nut is a known cause of OSMF. More and more adolescents are becoming habitual to the use of areca nut and thus become prone for oral cancer. Objective To assess the prevalence of areca nut eating habits and its association with OSMF in the preuniversity college-going adolescents of Raichur in Karnataka, India. Materials and methods A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among the preuniversity college-going adolescents. A questionnaire was asked to be filled by them with regard to areca nut eating habits. All of them were examined by a single examiner for the detection of OSMF. Results Among the total of 1,208 adolescents included in the study, 527 were males and 681 were females. A total of 358 (29.64%) people accepted that they have the habit of eating areca nut. There was a significant association between areca nut eating habit and OSMF. There exists a significant relationship between the frequency and duration of areca nut eating habit with the presence of OSMF (p < 0.0001). Conclusion Areca nut eating habit is increasingly becoming prevalent among college-going adolescents. This needs to be addressed promptly by all concerned to prevent the occurrence of oral cancer.

Background: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder with areca nut being the main etiological agent. Increased risk of malignant potential of OSMF necessitates the early diagnosis of the condition. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) scavenges oxygenated free radicals and can be used as a potential biomarker for oral cancer detection. Objectives: The present study was conducted to estimate and compare salivary SOD levels in patients with OSMF and healthy controls and to compare its levels in different clinical and functional stages of OSMF. Methodology: The study group (Group 1) included 30 patients of OSMF, and the control group (Group 2) was formed by age and sex-matched healthy individuals. Salivary SOD levels were determined by Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) chloride method. The levels of salivary SOD were compared between the two groups and the data thus obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using independent sample t-test and one way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Results: The mean salivary SOD in the study group was 0.583 IU/mL and 0.864 IU/mL in control group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Thus, the patients with OSMF had significantly lower levels of salivary SOD compared to the controls. Conclusion: The decrease in the salivary SOD levels in patients with OSMF suggests the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of OSMF and initiation and progression of carcinogenesis. Thus, it can be used as a prognostic marker for early detection of carcinoma in patients with OSMF and thereby, improving the quality of life patients.

Background: Oral habits can cause severe oral potentially malignant disorders. There is a need to deeply analyse the role of betel nut in the causation of these disorders. Patients must be educated in order to prevent them from grabbing these conditions as inspection leads to prevention. Aim: The aim of our study was to study and analyse the different patterns of quid usage among the participants with oral submucous fibrosis and leukoplakia in Central India population. Patients and Methods: The study was performed on 90 patients amongst which 45 patients were clinically diagnosed of oral submucous fibrosis & the other 45 patients were diagnosed of leukoplakia.  The cases were then subjected to a detailed questionnaire which aimed to extract information regarding the various types of quid usage habits, their frequency and duration. The data was recorded and statistical analysis was done. Results: The study included 90 subjects – 86 males & 4 females. Out of 6 types of quid habits it is found that type IV (processed areca nut), Type VI (combined quid usage) quid caused OSMF stage II, Stage III & homogenous leukoplakia respectively. There is a strong association between duration and frequency of habit in causation of OSMF & leukoplakia. Conclusion: The present study showed increased prevalence of OSMF & leukoplakia with type IV & VI quid usage among the population of Central India.

Kebiasaan menyirih telah dilakukan sejak dahulu kala di Indonesia, khususnya pada suku Papua. Banyak anggapan masyarakat bahwa menyirih dapat menguatkan gigi geligi dan menghambat terjadinya karies, namun dibalik dampak positif dari menyirih ini, ada juga dampak negatifnya berupa timbulnya lesi pada mukosa yang melapisi rongga mulut.Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk memperoleh gambaran kebiasaan menyirih pada mahasiswa Papua di Kota Manado, mencakup: tujuan menyirih, bahan campuran menyirih, lamanya kebiasaan menyirih, frekuensi menyirih, dan faktor pendorong kebiasaan menyirih serta untuk mengetahui gambaran lesi mukosa mulut pada mahasiswa Papua di Kota Manado.Jenis penelitian ini yaitu penelitian desktiptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional study. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan ialah total sampling dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang. Dari 30 subjek yang diperiksa, sebagian besar merupakan wanita, usia 17-27 tahun. Lamanya menyirih terbanyak 6-10 tahun, dengan frekuensi terbanyak 1-3 kali sehari, bahan campuran menyirih yang paling banyak digunakan ialah campuran sirih, pinang dan kapur. Faktor pendorong utama menyirih yakni karena keinginan sendiri, dimana tujuan menyirih terbanyak yakni agar gigi menjadi kuat dan sehat. Dari 30 subjek ada 29 orang (96,66%) memiliki lesi dalam rongga mulutnya. Lesi yang diduga sebagai Oral Submucous Fibrosis yakni sebanyak 90% dan lesi yang diduga sebagai Betel Chewers Mucosa sebanyak 6,66%.Kata kunci: Kebiasaan menyirih, lesi mukosa mulut, Oral Submucous Fibrosis, Betel Chewer’s MucosaABSTRACTBetel chewing as a habit has been done since a long time ago in Indonesia, especially in Papua. There are some public perceptions that betel chewing can strengthen teeth and prevent caries. But, behind the positive effect of betel chewing, there are negative effects too, such as the onset of lesions in the oral mucosa.The purpose of this research is to get an overview of betel chewing habit on Papuan students in Manado, including the purpose of betel chewing, the complete material of betel chewing, duration of betel chewing, frequency of betel chewing, the driving factor of betel chewing, and to get an overview on oral mucosal lesions on Papuan students in Manado.The type of this research is descriptive research with a cross - sectional study. The sampling technique is total sampling with a sample size of 30 people. The 30 examined subjects, mostly women with age ranging from 17-27 years. The most length of chewing from 6-10 years, with the highest frequency of chewing 1-3 times a day, the average mixture of betel commonly used is betel, areca nut and slaked lime. The major driving factor in betel chewing is their own desire and the most common purpose is to get a strong and healthy teeth. 29 of 30 subjects (96,66%) have lesions in the oral cavity. In 90% of the sample, expected as Oral Submucous Fibrosis and in 6,66% expected as Betel Chewer’s Mucosa.Keyword: Betel chewing habit, oral mucosal lesions, Oral Submucous Fibrosis, Betel Chewer’s Mucosa
