Treating Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) focuses on improving mouth opening and relieving symptoms. The most critical first step is completely stopping betel nut, tobacco, and alcohol use. Key treatment options include Injections: corticosteroids (like triamcinolone) combined with enzymes (like hyaluronidase), injected directly into the oral tissues to reduce stiffness. Oral Medications: Pentoxifylline to improve blood flow, and antioxidants (such as lycopene, beta-carotene, and vitamins A, C, and E) to promote tissue healing.\n- Physical Therapy: Consistent, daily mouth-stretching exercises. For advanced cases, minor surgery may be recommended. Please consult a dentist or oral specialist for a personalized plan.
