Abstract

To date, no treatment strategies for oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) have been proved to be completely effective, and one of the most accepted medical lines of therapy advised in every stage of OSMF is antioxidants. One of the antioxidant drugs has increasingly earned popularity, which is due to its less expensive market price than other available antioxidants formulations. The presence of copper in its composition questions its ability to be effective in the management of OSMF. Moreover, we would like to emphasize that the presence of copper adds on to the disease burden and antioxidants with copper in its composition should not be advised as an antioxidant of choice for the management of OSMF.

Iatrogenic cushing’s syndrome post intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in oral submucous fibrosis: 2 case reports

“…While the diagnosis of OSMF is relies on clinical and histopathological evaluation, treatment approaches for OSMF vary widely in the literature, and there is currently no universally recognized effective treatment [ 8 ]. Intralesional corticosteroid injections, designed to mitigate epithelial lining fibrosis and enhance mouth opening through enzymatic actions, represent viable treatment alternatives for early-stage cases that do not necessitate surgical intervention [ 9 ].…”
