Intralesional injections in oral submucous fibrosis - A series of case reports

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic insidious disease and is well-recognized as a premalignant condition. It is a collagen-related disorder associated with betel quid chewing and characterized by progressive hyalinization of the submucosa. It is a wellrecognized potentially malignant condition of the oral and oropharyngeal mucosa with initial inflammation followed by progressive fibrosis of the underlying connective tissues. The aim of this article is to report three cases of OSMF which was treated with intralesional injection of corticosteroids, hyaluronidase, and local anesthesia which showed remarkable improvement in the clinical symptoms.
