ABSTRACT Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a premalignant condition associated with restricted mouth opening. Oral submucous fibrosis is poorly understood and unsatisfactorily treated disease. Serious complication is the risk of development of oral carcinoma. Different treatment modalities like medical, surgical, physical therapy or combination are used to improve the condition of the patient. Surgical treatment is usually indicated in late and irreversible stage of the disease. Successful use of nasolabial flap in the management of OSMF is presented.

Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic insidious oral mucosal condition causing trismus and reduced mouth opening and it is affecting predominantly Indian and other Asians. The treatment of trismus requires combination of pharmacological agents, surgical therapy and physiotherapy, the latter is essential for preventing relapse due to postoperative inactivity and scarring as well as for improvement of mouth opening. Computerized literature search was performed from 1993 till 2021 to select eligible articles from the following databases: PUBMED [MEDLINE], SCOPUS, SCIENCE DIRECT, and COCHRANE DATABASE using specific keywords. The search was limited to articles published as full text in English, which were screened by two reviewers for eligibility.This article describes in depth about various appliances, devices used in oral submucous fibrosis. The devices can be used along with pharmacological and surgical treatment modalities or can be used alone. Mouth exercise is also well-established method to improve mouth opening and also to prevent postsurgical relapse. This article is one of the rare article that describes all the appliances together either directly used or indirectly used for the case of microstomia due to oral sub mucous fibrosis.

Malignant Changes

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an insidious chronic disease affecting any part of the oral cavity and sometimes the pharynx with epithelial atrophy leading to stiffness of the oral mucosa, causing trismus and inability to eat. However, a more serious complication of this disease is the risk of the development of oral carcinoma. A case of OSMF reported with initial interincisal mouth opening; 8 mm which was treated surgically with nasolabial flap technique followed by active mouth opening exercises for 6 months with Hister’s jaw exerciser. The patient could maintain mouth opening of 32 mm at the end of 18-months followup. The patient was observed closely for any malignant changes in the oral cavity.

Premalignant Conditions

Oral submucous fibrosis is a premalignant condition, characterized by fibrosis in oral mucosa causing stiffness of mucosa and leading to reduced mouth opening. The malignant transformation of oral submucous fibrosis is very high among the rest of the premalignant conditions. Chronic chewing of arecanut causes production of myofibroblasts. These myofibroblasts plays an important role in neoangiogenesis as well as disintegration of the basement membrane at the tumor invasive front leading to carcinoma.  Here, we are doing an Immunohistochemical study using alpha SMA for proper microscopic visulizations of myofibroblastic activity in an OSF patient, encompassing the pathogenesis and malignant potentiality of the disease.

ABSTRACT Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an established precancerous condition with increased prevalence in the Indian subcontinent. The treatment of OSMF is a challenging task for a clinician. Different authors have suggested variety of treatment modalities and have claimed success rates; still there is no universally acceptable protocol for the management of OSMF. In our case, transaction of bands was done by contact diode lasers (12 watt) under local anesthesia and it offered good results. Diode lasers offered excellent results and had many advantages over conventional surgical treatment. How to cite this article Soni A, Sharma S, Chitlangia P, Amit, Agarwal P.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic, premalignant condition that is prevalent in Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Srilanka. Oral cancer accounts for around 30% of the cancer cases in India. It is important to understand the prevalence of the disease for its effective management. The aim of the study was to understand the prevalence of the condition and the popularity of various treatment modalities used in its management, along with the prevalence of OSMF patients requiring prosthetic rehabilitation. Case sheets of around 23,000 patients were reviewed from March 2019 to June 2020 out of which 100 patients were affected by oral submucous fibrosis. To eliminate bias, all patients affected by the disease were included in the study. Epidemiological data of the patient along with their ongoing treatment, was collected and tabulated in MS Excel sheet. The data was then analyzed using IBM SPSS software version 23: The prevalence of OSMF in males was 92% while in females, it was 8%. The age group of 31-40 years was found to be most commonly affected, and pan chewing was observed to be the most common abusive habit amongst OSMF patients. The most common treatment modality used was non-invasive methods within which antioxidant therapy was the most popularly used modality. The increasing prevalence of OSMF amongst the younger population is a matter of great concern. The present study shows the prevalence of OSMF in males, especially in the young and middle-aged population. Thus it is important to increase awareness amongst the youth regarding the condition and to increase awareness amongst the dentists regarding the various treatment modalities to effectively prevent and clinically manage such conditions.

Objective: Surgical defects following fibrotomy in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) are difficult to manage due to relapse, and local flaps play a pivotal role in covering the defect. The purpose of this study is to compare the buccal fat pad (BFP) and nasolabial flap (NLF) for the reconstruction of intraoral defects after the release of fibrous bands in patients with OSMF. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on patients with OSMF with surgical treatment of fibrotomy excision and reconstruction of the defect with 2 options. Thirty patients with OSMF were divided into 2 groups, group I (BFP) and group II (NLF). Both groups were analyzed for preoperative and postoperative mouth opening and oral commissural width; the extraoral scar was assessed using the Stony Brook Scar Assessment Scale. The data were statistically analyzed using paired and unpaired t test. Results: Thirty patients comprising 27 (90%) male and 3 (10%) female with ages ranging between 19 and 51 years were involved. The mean preoperative and postoperative interincisal mouth opening was 12 mm and 27 mm in group I and 11 mm and 38 mm in group II, respectively, showing a significant increase in group II, and the mean preoperative and postoperative commissural width was 52 mm and 58 mm in group I and 51 mm and 60 mm in group II, respectively. Conclusion: The proposed surgical protocol for the management of OSMF found NLF superior to BFP for the reconstruction of intraoral defects after the release of fibers in patients with OSMF, with a minimal residual scar.
