Abstract
Aim
To evaluate the efficacy of a new drug combination in the medical management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 89 patients who were clinically diagnosed of having OSMF (grade I, II, III). These patients had been administered the new drug combination for 6 months and clinical parameters such as burning sensation score, mouth opening and tongue protrusion were evaluated at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-medication retrospectively.
Results
Out of the total 89 patients included in the study, 18 patients had Grade-I, 50 patients had Grade-II and 21 patients had Grade-III OSMF. A significant improvement was observed in the mouth opening and tongue protrusion in all the three grades of OSMF from baseline to 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after treatment (p < 0.0001) on intra- and intergroup comparison. A significant reduction in the burning sensation score from baseline to 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after treatment was observed (p < 0.0001) in all the three grades on intra group comparison.
Conclusion
This retrospective study showed that this novel drug combination is significantly effective in improving burning sensation score, mouth opening and tongue protrusion in OSMF grade I, II and III patients with results consistent after 1 year of follow-up.
