Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
OSMF is one of the classic “Disease of civilization” with large differences being seen between races, geographic areas and individuals at different levels in both prevalence and the degree to which it t-rans forms into malignancy with continuation of habit with increased frequency and duration. Oral Sub mucous Fibrosis is a premalignant condition that has received considerable attention in past because of its chronic debilitating and resistant nature. It is now strongly believed that there is a definite relation of the condition with the habit of areca nu-t chew ing .The possible precancerous nature of OSMF first was described by Paymaster and later confirmed subsequently by Pindborg. In India, the first mention of this disease can be traced back to the ancient literature of ‘Sushruta’ as ‘Vidari’. It was in 1952, when Joshi from Mumbai described the condition as ‘Submucous fibrosis’ and Pindborg in 1966 named the condition ‘Oral sub mucous fibrosis.’ There being no actual treatment for the condition per se the mainstay of management is concentrated upon improving the mouth opening and relieving the symptoms by therapeutic and/or surgical means. This review aims to throw the light on etiology, pathogenesis, various classification system, clinical and histopatho-logi cal features in various stages of OSMF and different treatment modalities.
