Brief Answer: No specific treatment is effective Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. There is no established treatment for oral submucous fibrosis. Only thing which helps is the complete cessation of tobacco use. Still the changes which have already occurred in the mucosa are not reversible at least in short term. Restricted mouth opening does not improve much with any of the treatments be it medical or surgical. Regular Jaw stretching exercise and various flaps are done for this but the benefit is doubtful. Symptoms of burning sensation and difficulty in taking spicy food improves over time. Usually given treatments of B complex, lycopene, and steroid injections have no proven role. Feel free to ask another query. Regards

Brief Answer: Nasolabial flap/ FRAFF Detailed Answer: Thanks for the query. Nasolabial flap is commonly used flap for this. Free radial artery forearm flap is also used for this problem. Bilateral coronoidectomy with release of temporalis(FRAFF) muscles is also used. But long term results are not very encouraging for all these flaps. Triamcinolone (Kenacort) injections and gel forms are used but with limited success. Any head & neck surgeon or plastic surgeon with experience in micro vascular surgery in Lucknow will be able to do these flaps. Feel free to ask another query. Regards
