Abstract
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic condition that involves any portion of the oral cavity and causes restricted mouth opening due to increasing sub mucosal fibrosis. Various surgical treatment approaches have been used to correct the OSMF. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the efficiency of amniotic membrane, collagen membrane and buccal fat pad in OSMF patients. Hence, a total 30 patient's diagnosed with OSMF were alienated equally into 3 groups based on treatment method; Group I: buccal pad of fat (BPF), Group II: mucosal defect with amniotic membrane (AM) and Group III-xenogenous collagen membrane (CM). Results show that AM grafts are advisable alternative for oral tissue restoration than buccal fat pad flaps and collagen membranes in terms of discomfort reduction, mouth opening improvement and epithelisation.
