“…This leads to restricted oral opening; when the tongue is involved, its protrusion may be impaired. 4 Early lesion present as a blanching of buccal mucosa, imparting a marble-like appearance but later lesions reveal palpable fibrous bands rendering the mucosa pale, thick and stiff. This leads to progressive inability to open the mouth, burning sensation, pain, dysphagia and finally hearing loss.…”

“…With a reported prevalence ranging up to 0.4% in Indian rural populations, 4 several million individuals are estimated to suffer from this malady. It has a malignant transformation rates as high as 7.6% [5][6][7] and a relative risk of 397.3 for oral cancer development compared to individuals with tobacco habits but without any precancerous lesion or condition.…”

“…The presence of palpable fibrous bands is a requisite diagnostic criterion for this condition, as otherwise other mucosal conditions such as anemic states are likely to be diagnosed as OSMF, especially in field studies. 4 Sirsat and Khanolkar investigated the outcome of capsaicin, which is a component of chili peppers, on the palate of wister rats and found a limited connective tissue response, but this was increased when the animals were vitamin B12 deficient. Iron and vitamin B12 deficiency has been associated particularly in conjunction with other factors.…”

Oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, insidious, disabling disease of oral mucosa, oropharynx, and rarely, the larynx affecting millions of people worldwide with a prevalence rate of 0.4 % in Indian rural population. It results in difficulty to open the mouth and can be disabling to the patient. The awareness of such a condition among oral physicians can help in timely diagnosis and thus appropriate treatment can be administered depending on the degree of involvement. Patients with OSMF need treatment for trismus correction, reconstructive surgery for any simultaneous oral malignancy. A case of oral sub mucous fibrosis occurring in a 35 year old male patient is presented with emphasis on the review of literature.

The paper presents the results of an epidemiologic house‐to‐house survey of oral cancer and lcukoplakia among 50,915 adult villagers in 4 states of India which were selected according to various types of chewing and smoking habits. Twenty‐six oral cancer cases were found in the survey. The prevalence of leukoplakia ranged from 0.2 to 4.9%. There was a predominance of men. Leukoplakias were already observed in the 15‐ to 24‐year age group, and a considerable number were in the 25‐ to 34‐year age group. Intra‐oral locations of the leukoplakias were found to vary within the 4 states depending upon the chewing and smoking habits prevailing. The leukoplakias were analyzed with regard to intra‐oral locatios and correlation with habits. Special habits like hookli smoking and reverse smoking are associated with leukoplakias on the labial mucosa and on the palate, respectively. The histologic analysis of biopsies from 723 leukoplakias showed variations in the type of hyperkeratosis which may depend upon habits. The prevalence of epithelial atypia ranged from 3.0% to 12.4% in the 4 states. Epithelial atypia was seen in 8.4% of homogeneous leukoplakias but in 59.1% of speckled leukoplakias.
