The disuse of the jaws owing to the restricted movement of the mandible in advanced cases of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) may have an effect on the morphologic features of the jaw bones. The purpose of the present study was to determine the jaw bone measurements in patients with OSMF and to compare the measurements in normal subjects and Caucasian norms.
