Abstract

Oral Submucous fibrosis is a disease common among developing countries of South-east Asia. The condition was first demonstrated by Schwartz in 1952, and Pindborg et al have done extensive research to explain the pathophysiology of the disease. This potentially malignant condition once initiated cannot be reversed completely and the long standing cases suffer from altered nutrition status, poor intraoral hygiene and disarticulation. Hence, this disease should be dealt with radical surgical intervention and reconstruction with the appropriate method to prevent recurrence and increase the quality of life for the patients. Keywords: Oral Submucous fibrosis, Potentially malignant condition, Reconstruction
