Abstract

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic disease of the oral cavity characterized by abnormal collagen  deposition and progressive fibrosis of the submucosal tissue. The prevalence rate of OSF was 6.3 % and gutakha  chewing is the most common habit was present in OSF patients. Symptoms include ulceration, burning  sensation, submucous fibrosis, restricted mouth opening and xerostomia. In Ayurveda oral submucous fibrosis  is correlate with Sarvasara mukhatoga (Diseases of Oral cavity) described in Bruhatrayi. Betelnut, tobacco,  lime, chilies etc. act like irritants and can cause damage to oral mucosa. Treatment including Pittashamaka  Yoga and gandush (Oil pulling), nasya (Nasal medication), pratisarana (rubbing) etc. can be done in OSF  patients. In present conceptual study we are highlighting the management of oral submucous fibrosis.
