Redefining epithelial characterization in oral submucous fibrosis using morphometric analysis
BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic oral mucosal disease characterized by progressive deposition of collagen in subepithelial connective tissue and epithelial atrophy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the changes in epithelial thickness and cellular and nuclear morphometric characteristics of parabasal and spinous compartments of the epithelium in various stages of...
متن کاملMorphometric Analysis in Head and Neck Lesions: Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant condition that typically affects the buccal mucosa, lips, retro molar areas and the soft palate. It presents as a whitish-yellow discoloration involving the buccal mucosa, the oropharynx and rarely in the larynx. It has a chronic, insidious biological course (Chen et al., 2006). Out of all cancer i.e. oral cancer itself it is the sixth m...
متن کاملMorphometric analysis of epithelial thickness and blood vessels in different grades of oral submucous fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a common oral health problem in the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by a juxtaepithelial inflammatory reaction followed by fibroelastic changes in the lamina propria. Traditionally, it is said to be associated with marked epidermal atrophy and decreased vasculature as the disease advances. OBJECTIVE To assess the changes in epidermal thickn...
متن کاملOral Submucous Fibrosis: a case report
We describe an interesting case of oral sub mucous fibrosis accompanied by severe trismus in a 23 years old man. The patient had initially been diagnosed as having internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint and conservative treatment had failed to decrease the symptoms. Despite extremely limited temporomandibular joint movement, cone beam computed tomography revealed no important abnor...
متن کاملOral Submucous Fibrosis: A Chronic Deliberating Disease of Oral Cavity
Oral submucous fibrosis is chronic progressive condition of oral cavity. The condition is well recognized for its malignant potential. Usually the disease initiates with redness, blistering, and ulceration inside the mouth. It is characterized by progressive fibrosis of submucosal tissue. The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis is not well understood. Betelquid chewing is the major etiologi...
