Abstract. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an insidious chronic disease affecting any part of the oral cavity and sometimes the pharynx with epithelial atrophy leading to stiffness of the oral mucosa, causing trismus and inability to eat.SMF is poorly understood and unsatisfactorily treated disease.

The precancerous nature of OSMF has been observed with development of slowly growing squamous cell carcinoma in one-third of OSMF patients [ 2, 7 ].
