Abstract

Oral submucous fibrosis is chronic progressive condition of oral cavity. It is characterized by progressive fibrosis of submucosal tissue. The condition is well recognized for its malignant potential. The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis is not well understood. It is one of the most poorly understood and unsatisfactorily treated diseases. A wide range of treatment including drug management, surgical therapy, and physiotherapy have been attempted till date, with varying degrees of benefit, but none have been able to cure this disease
