Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is of the chronic disease of the oral cavity. Numerous lines of treatments have been tried in the past few decades for treating the OSMF patients. Hence, we planned the present study to compare two non-surgical modes of treatment protocols in OSMF patients. Materials & methods: The present study included comparative assessment of efficacy of various non-surgical treatment therapies in patients with OSMF. A total of 40 OSMF patients were included in the present study. All the patients were broadly divided into two study groups as follows: Group 1: Patients treated with mixture of Turmeric and Jaggery Application twice a day all over the oral mucosa,Group 2: Patients treated with physiotherapy exercise twice daily. Recalling of the patients was done after one month and inter-incisal distance was again measured. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: We observed better improvement in the mouth opening among patients of group 1 in comparison to the patients of group 2. However; the results were found to be statistically non- significant. Conclusion: Application of turmeric with jaggery is slightly more effective for treating OSMF patients.
