Abstract
Oral Sub-Mucous Fibrosis (OSMF) has a high prevalence in the Indian subcontinent and is a matter of grave concern because of its alarming malignant potential. Numerous treatment modalities; from antioxidants, vitamin supplements, placental extract injections to surgical methods (fibrotomy either by the use of a scalpel or an electrocautery) have been attempted with varying degrees of success along with some disadvantages associated with each. With the advent of technology, laser offers certain advantages which was utilized in this case to overcome the shortcomings of conventional technique.
