Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 4% curcumin orabase, in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Materials and Methods: 30 subjects diagnosed with OSMF were included for the study. The patients were administered 4% curcumin orabase (Patent no. 845/CHE/2014) topically three times a day; efficacy of the therapy was evaluated considering the mouth opening and burning sensation of the subjects as parameters. The evaluation was done on a timely basis for a period of three months, and the data was then evaluated. Results: The improvement in mouth opening and the decrease in burning sensation were statistically significant (p<0.0001). Conclusion: 4% Curcumin orabase can also be considered as a best alternative treatment in OSMF, however, further research is intended on a larger sample size with longer followup.
