ABSTRACT Aim The incidence of oral mucosal lesions is increasing day by day due to adverse oral habits and emerging infections. Hence, a novel attempt is made to assess the prevalence of oral mucosal abnormalities in patients visiting dental department of ESIC Hospital and Medical College, KK Nagar, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Materials and methods A retrospective study was designed to assess the prevalence of oral mucosal abnormalities in ESIC Hospital and Medical College, KK Nagar, Chennai. A total of 2315 patients were assessed between May 2014 and October 2014 to find the prevalence of oral mucosal abnormalities. Results and conclusion The prevalence of oral mucosal abnormalities was found to be 13.31%. The most prevalent oral mucosal abnormalities were smoker's palate, frictional keratosis, aphthous ulcers, oral submucous fibrosis, and traumatic ulcers. Clinical significance Knowing the prevalence of oral mucosal abnormalities is very significant because early detection and prompt treatment of the same would help in reducing the morbidity and enhancing the patients’ quality of life.

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

Premalignant lesions over buccal mucosa are very common in India, some of these lesions require excision leaving behind defects and various techniques can be used in reconstruction of these defects. Small palatal defect, oroantral fistulas have been successfully closed by buccal pad of fat flap. Aim of this study was to evaluate reconstruction of defects after excision of premalignant lesion over buccal mucosa using buccal pad of fat. 20 patients were selected for this study who presented with different premalignant lesions like erythroplakia, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, chronic hyperplastic candidiasis, Oral submucous fibrosis over buccal mucosa in Dr. DY Patil medical college surgery unit 4 and 7. Excision of lesion followed by reconstruction with buccal pad of fat was done. Patients were followed up every 14 days for 14 weeks, and was evaluated for epithelisation of flap and post-operative complications like infection and flap necrosis and also the functionality of the flap. In this study we have observed complete epithelisation of the flap in most of our patients. Dehiscence of the wound was observed in 3 of the patients with large defects (>4×5 cm). No postoperative morbidity was in postoperative patients. Buccal pad of fat is an excellent technique for reconstruction of small defects of buccal mucosa. It is a reliable and a fast method which has easy accessibility less complications and minimal morbidity.

Introduction: Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic oral disease characterized by progressive buildup of constricting collagen bands in the cheeks and adjacent structures of the mouth due to chewing of areca nut. This can severely restrict mouth opening and tongue movement causing pain and burning sensation in the mouth. Aims: This study evaluates the efficacy of pentoxifylline in the management of oral submucous fibrosis. Methods: A hospital-based study, conducted in the dental outpatient department of Nepalgunj Medical College from October 2019 to September 2020. Forty-nine patients who were diagnosed histopathologically with oral submucous fibrosis were included. The patients were divided into two groups. In group A, patients were given, 200 mg thrice daily for first 30 days, then dose hiked to 400 mg thrice daily for two more months. Group B patients received treatment with multi-vitamin capsules (B-complex one capsule before sleep daily) for three months. All patients were followed up for six months and were assessed for maximum inter-incisor opening, pain on opening of mouth and burning sensation. Results: There was no statistical difference in mouth opening at baseline and first follow up. The mouth opening was significantly more in group A compared to group B from second follow up which persisted till third follow up (p <0.05). Pain and burning sensation significantly reduced in group A compared to group B from 2nd follow up which persisted till 3rd follow up (p <0.05). Few patients had nausea, dyspepsia and vomiting during treatment in group A which resolved within a few days without the need for cessation of the drug. Conclusion: Pentoxifylline can bring about significant clinical improvements in the symptoms of oral submucous fibrosis like mouth opening, pain and burning sensation, thereby improving the quality of life of the affected individuals.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The aetiopathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), though not an uncommon disease, is not yet well established. OSMF is prevalent in the geographical area of study. These were the driving factors to conduct this study. This haematological study in patients with oral submucous fibrosis was conducted to find out some definite causative features so that an effective treatment regime could be evolved.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective hospital-based observational study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Pathology in a tertiary care medical college hospital. The 150 clinically diagnosed patients were enrolled for the study. Routine laboratory tests were done to identify markers which would suggest autoimmune conditions.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In 124 cases (83%), mild to moderately anaemia was observed while 75 cases (50%) showed raised ESR. Lymphocytosis and eosinophilia were observed in 42 cases (28%) and 48 cases (32%) respectively. Hyperglobulinaemia was observed in 45 cases (30%). In 18 cases (12%) leukocytosis was observed. In 30 cases (20%), pus cells were seen in urine, while ova and cysts were found present in 42 cases (28%).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The present study could not establish the commonly claimed theory of collagen disease. The exact aetiology of OSMF is not yet known. Some genetic factors seem to play a role, which make some people predisposed to react abnormally to chronic masticatories of different forms of areca nut, tobacco and areca leaves. Therefore further research in the direction of genetic studies will perhaps reveal the exact cause of OSMF.</p>

Submucous Fibrosis

Oral submucous fibrosis, with mucosal sensitivity to irritants such as areca nuts and chilly items due to chronic iron deficiency, is a form of sideropenic dysphagia. Serum iron is used for nutritional evaluation as a biochemical measure and serves as a predictor for the progression of the disease as there is a correlation between the quality of serum iron and oral carcinogenesis. Early diagnosis and prognosis can also be carried out by the assessment of biochemical parameters. The purpose of the research was to test OSMF patients with serum iron and ferritin. After prior consent, 50 participants were included in the study. They've been split into two classes. The research group consisted of 25 average, healthy individuals and a further 25 OSMF patients. 5 ml of blood was collected using a centrifuge and the serum was separated. Using the ERBA CHEM 5 plus analyser, serum iron was estimated using the Ferrozine/MgCO3 method and Ferritin by the Immunoturbidimetric Latex Assay methodIt was found that serum iron and serum ferritin levels decreased significantly compared to control levels in OSMF patients. In OSMF patients, serum iron was 84.29 ±19.3524.6419.35 compared to control 121.21 ± 19.35 and serum ferritin was77.14 ± 17.26 and 134.69 ±31.3 respectively. The current study concludes that serum iron and ferritin levels in OSMF patients are decreased relative to control levels that can be used to distinguish such patients as an indicator.
