Collagen membrane: A new concept in surgical management for mucosal defect in oral sub mucous fibrosis

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a doubtlessly malignant disorder of the oral cavity. The surgical control this situation involves excision fibrotic bands and interpositional grafts to keep elevated opening. Various strategies graft had been utilized with differing achievement rates.
 Aims Objective: Through study, an attempt was made evaluate efficacy collagen membrane as wound dressing material for mucosal defect in fibrosis.
 Materials Methods: study include 30 patients age group 15 60 years stage III or IVa sub mucous all which underwent operation under general anesthesia enhance their mouthopening by fibrotomy placement same surgeon. After surgery were accessed parameter like hemostatic effect, pain relief, granulation tissue formation, epithelization, contracture reactivity. All given similar prescriptions killer, antibiotics postoperative instructions. examined postoperatively.
 Results: In various accessing on defects recorded. 1st 28 score good (93.3%) bleeding stopping within 5 minutes after application only 2 fair (6.66%). relief analgesics stopped day 3rd procedure 16 (53.3%) score, 12 (40%) while gad poor (6.66%) score. sufficient formation entire therefore (100%) at end two weeks. Epithelization noted who 1 month. Contracture site 3 months rated 20 (66.6%) (33.3%) 10 patients. No reactivity any form found subjects (100%).
 Conclusion: our we noticed that be very effective it provided us satisfactory results intraoral material.
