“…In our study, though the healthy subjects reported a higher MBF than OSMF patients did, the difference was statistically non-significant and when sides were compared, no significant difference was observed in mean MBF in healthy subjects and OSMF patients. This is in agreement with that described by other authors, who observed a non-significant difference in the MBF between controls and OSMF subjects [16].…”

To determine the maximum bite force (MBF) in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients and to compare them with that of healthy subjects. Material and Methods: Twenty patients who were clinically confirmed, as OSMF and 20 healthy controls matched for age, gender, and number of intact functional teeth were included in this study. For each subject, age, gender, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. The MBF registration was carried out by the two evaluators, who were previously calibrated. Bite force was measured in the first molar region using a force transducer occlusal force meter for each subject seated at the upright position, with Frankfort's plane nearly parallel to the floor, and no head support. The Student's independent t-test was used to determine the statistical significance in relation to mean height, weight, BMI and the presence of number of intact teeth and MBF between the healthy subjects and OSMF individuals. A comparison of grades of OSMF with all variables was carried out by one-way ANOVA test. Results: No significant difference was found in mean age, mean height, weight, BMI and the presence of the number of intact teeth between healthy individuals and OSMF patients. The mean MBF in healthy subjects was 628.23 ± 24.39 N and 635.47 ± 31.22 N in OSMF patients. Even though the healthy subjects reported a higher MBF than OSMF patients did, the difference was statistically non-significant. With regards to sides, no significant difference was observed in mean MBF in healthy subjects and OSMF patients on the right (p=0.7818) and left side (p=0.6154). Conclusion: The healthy subjects reported higher MBF values than OSMF patients did and the difference was statistically non-significant.

Muscles of mastication are replaced by fibrous tissue in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Muscular changes, in the form of dystrophy because of muscular over activity is observed in most of the cases of OSMF. One hundred OSMF patients and 25 healthy individuals were included in this study. The patients were categorized into four groups on the basis of mouth opening. For every individual, age, sex, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were documented. Burning sensation, mouth opening, maximum bite force (MBF) was evaluated among study groups and control group. The OSMF individuals were injected with hyaluronidase 1500 IU mixed in 1.5 ml of dexamethasone and 0.5 ml of lignocaine HCL intralesionally twice a week for one month and control subjects were given placebo capsules and all the parameters were revaluated. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's independent t-test, Analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. No significant difference was observed in mean age, mean height, weight, BMI and the presence of the number of intact teeth between controls and OSMF individuals. A significant decrease in anterior MBF in group III and IV and posterior MBF of both sides in groups II, III and IV was noted. After treatment there was a significant improvement in anterior MBF in group III and posterior MBF in groups II and III OSMF patients. It was concluded that, MBF was reduced in patients with OSMF and it is improved in early and moderate cases after intralesional hyaluronidase and corticosteroid therapy.
