OSMF treatments

Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive, and potentially malignant disorder characterized by fibrosis of the oral mucosa, leading to restricted mouth opening, burning sensation, and speech or swallowing difficulties. Treatment aims to halt disease progression, improve mouth function, and alleviate symptoms.

Follow-Up and Prognosis :

• Regular monitoring for signs of malignant transformation (oral cancer risk).
• Continuous assessment of mouth opening and mucosal health.
• Long-term rehabilitation with lifestyle changes and physiotherapy.

OSMF is a progressive disorder requiring a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Early diagnosis, cessation of causative factors, and a combination of medical, physical, and surgical interventions can improve function and prevent malignant transformation.
