Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic insidious disease mainly associated with fibroelastic change of the oral mucous membrane, leading to progressive trismus and oral burning sensation. The management of OSMF is empirical, depends on staging of the condition and is combination of conservative/medical/surgical interventions. Management of moderate OSMF is more challenging as conservative and medical treatments are not effective while surgical techniques involving fibrotomy and reconstruction of resultant defect are excessive. Lasers can provide an alternative and better means for surgical fibrotomy in moderate OSMF as they are minimally invasive and have the advantage of short operating time, less hemorrhage, faster healing, less morbidity, less surgical-site scarring and relapse. Laser fibrotomy in moderate OSMF have been done under general anesthesia.
