Oral Submucous Fibrosis

OSMF

The absence of mutations in OSMF also suggests that the samples analyzed in the present study may not have acquired transforming potential. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hearing Impairment

    Symptoms Those with oral submucous fibrosis complain of the following: Sunken cheeks Mouth pain Nasal voice Dry mouth Stiff tongue Impaired hearing Impaired speech Impaired mouth movements Increased salivation Shrunken uvula Blistering inside the mouth [drchetan.com]

    impairment due to Eustachian tube More Details blockage and jaw movements. [4], [5], [6] Three stages of this condition are of stomatitis, fibrosis, and sequelae. [sidj.org]

  • Suggestibility

    Abstract About 20% of the world's population uses some form of betel nut, which suggests that the incidence of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is higher than current estimates. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic workup A diagnosis of OSF can be rendered based on the clinical features and the history of associated areca nut use. The early symptoms include burning sensation, especially to spicy food, the formation of vesicles. [journals.plos.org]

In an open uncontrolled study intra-lesional IFN-gamma treatment showed improvement in the patients mouth opening from an inter-incisal distance before treatment of 21 /- 7 mm, to 30 /- 7 mm immediately after treatment and 30 /- 8 mm 6-months later, giving [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In an open uncontrolled study intra‐lesional IFN‐γ treatment showed improvement in the patients mouth opening from an inter‐incisal distance before treatment of 21 7 mm, to 30 7 mm immediately after treatment and 30 8 mm 6‐months later, giving a net gain [doi.org]

The aim of our study was to find candidate protein biomarkers to detect OSF and predict prognosis in BSCCs by quantitative proteomics approaches. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis evaluation revealed 25 cases of good prognosis and 5 cases were showed poor prognosis. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test revealed no significant difference of PSV was seen in poor prognosis patients. [ijdr.in]

Here, we present a case report of a 58 year old male patient where the patient presented with OSMF where iron deficiency anemia was found to be the main etiological factor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although nutritional deficiencies and immunological processes may play a part in the pathogenesis, the available epidemiological evidence indicates that chewing betel quid (containing areca nut, tobacco, slaked lime or other species) is an important risk [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The increased expression of p53, TGF-β, and iNOS in OSMF is suggestive of the role of these markers in its pathophysiology. 2016 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete hemogram of the subjects was done to rule out any other pathophysiology. Patients who showed malignant changes or who were not willing for treatment were excluded. [jiaomr.in]

Nutritional deficiencies, ingestion of chilies, and immunologic processes may also have a role in the development of oral submucous fibrosis. [3] See Pathophysiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This article describes the use of an oral stent as an adjunct to surgery to prevent relapse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Oral cancer largely can be prevented through control of the risk factors. The WHO global oral health programme aims atoral cancer prevention through experiences from assimilated approaches in prevention and health promotion. [jcpjournal.org]
