Abstract Oral submucous fibrosis has been a scourge of southeastern Asia and
its residents since time immemorial. Scores of medicinal agents, singly and in combination, have been tried with not very encouraging results.
In this study, therefore, the authors have compared different surgical modalities in the management of this condition and have tried to lay down indications of each surgical procedure.
A total of 100 patients of oral submucous fibrosis were included in this study and randomly allocated to different surgical groups, 25 patients per group.
After excision of fibrous bands, group I had buccal fat pad graft, group II had tongue flap, group III had nasolabial fold flap, and group IV had split skin graft for correction of mucosal defect created after incising the fibrous bands.

Abstract
On the basis of immediate postoperative & 1 month post operative mouth opening the authors Concluded that buccal fat pad rotation is superior to other procedures, because –
1. It offers ease of surgery,
2. Can be performed under local anesthesia as a day care procedure,
3. Shows little postoperative morbidity,
4. Has good patient acceptance, and there appear to be no contraindications to its use.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic progressive debilitating disease of the oral mucosa involving the oropharynx and rarely the larynx.
The disease is characterized by blanching and stiffness of the oral mucosa, trismus, burning sensation in the mouth, and hypomobility of the soft palate and tongue with loss of gustatory sensation.
It is associated with a juxtaepithelial inflammatory reaction followed by fibroelastic change of the lamina propria and epithelial atrophy leading to stiffness of the oral mucosa, causing trismus and inability to eat.

The present study was undertaken to compare the
postoperative results of various surgical techniques
described in the literature in terms of achieving a stable
mouth opening with minimum morbidity, and to lay down
specific indications for each procedure.
Aim & objective of the study
Your Logo
Oral submucous fibrosis is a well known entity described since the time of Sushruta as “vidari.”
Since then, this condition has also been described as
• Idiopathic scleroderma of the mouth,
• Idiopathic palatal fibrosis,
• Atrophic idiopathic mucosa oris,
• Sclerosing stomatitis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Your Logo
Patients for surgery were selected irrespective of age, gender, religion, or socioeconomic status, on the basis of following criteria:
1. Decreased mouth opening (20 mm interincisal distance).
2. Palpable fibrous bands in buccal mucosa, blanched oral mucosa (soft palate, buccal, labial, retromolar).
3. Reduced elasticity of mucosa.
4. Burning sensation of the oral mucosa.
5. Restricted tongue movements.
Diagnostic criteria

Different graft harvesting techniques
Your Logo
Blunt dissection was carried out
through the buccinator muscle to reach
the body or the buccal extension of the
buccal fat pad.
The buccal fat pad was then gently
teased into the defect, taking care not
to rupture its delicate capsule .
Adequate volume of the graft was
harvested to ensure tension-free
closure.
Vicryl was used to suture the graft to
the periphery of the defect, taking care
to prevent damage to the parotid
papilla while harvesting the flap.
Group I: Buccal fat pad graft
Buccal fat pad graft sutured in position to cover the mucosal defect.

A tongue flap was designed on the dorsal surface of tongue about 4 x1.5 cm in size, based anteriorly on the lateral border.
The flap was dissected and sutured to the cheek defect created after sectioning of fibrous bands.
The tongue flap was sectioned from its base after 21 days, once the graft was cross-vascularized.
Group II : Tongue flap
Your Logo
A flap about 4 x 1.5 cm in size was designed on the nasolabial fold area with sufficient length and width to fill the defect without tension.
Incision was carried out up to the subdermal tissues, leaving the base of the flap intact.
The flap was raised by blunt dissection, taking care not to disturb the facial muscles.
After raising the flap, a liberal tunnel was made near the base of the flap, to facilitate uncompressed entry of flap into the oral cavity.
Group III: Nasolabial fold flap
Healed nasolabial scar 1 month after surgery, withhair growth intraorally.
Your Logo
The flap was then de-epithelialized at its base; along the portion that would rest in the myomucosal tunnel followed by its rotation in the oral cavity, and sutured using 3-0 black silk.
The lateral skin flaps were then undermined just beneath the dermis to facilitate subcuticular closure using 4-0 prolene.
Pressure dressing of sterile gauze wrapped in Framycetin gauze was then placed intraorally over the graft to maintain intimate relationship of the graft to the mucosal defect, and sutures were removed on the 10th day after surgery.
Group III: Nasolabial fold flap
Healed nasolabial scar 1 month after surgery, with hair growth intraorally.
Your Logo
Approximately 0.014–0.018-inch-thick split skin graft was harvested from the lateral aspect of the thigh using Humby knife , and the donor site was covered with antibiotic-impregnated gauze and a pressure dressing.
The harvested graft was placed on a wet wooden slab and cut into the desired size and shape to conform with the intraoral mucosal defect.
Group IV : Split thickness skin
graft
Surgical site 1 month after split skin grafting.
Your Logo
Puncture holes were created in the graft before it was sutured to the mucosal margins using Vicryl.
Transbuccal quilt suture was placed in the central portion of the graft to minimize dead space, thereby maintaining intimate contact of the graft with the wound bed.
An adequate size of pressure dressing of sterile gauze wrapped in antibiotic gauze was placed intraorally to cover the graft, which was removed after 4-5 days followed by removal of sutures on the 10th postoperative day.

ETIOLOGY
Your Logo
A predominance of women suffering from oral submucous fibrosis has been observed in several studies.
Most of the patients in the present study were in the 20–40-year age group.
The most frequently affected locations in oral submucous fibrosis are the buccal mucosa and the retromolar areas.
It also commonly involves the soft palate, palatal fauces, uvula, tongue, and labial mucosa.

Clinical features…….
Your Logo
The most common initial symptoms are burning sensation of the
oral mucosa, aggravated by spicy food.
Vesiculation, excessive salivation, ulcération, pigmentation change,
recurrent stomatitis, defective gustatory sensation, and dryness of
the mouth have also been indicated in earlier stages.
Gradually, stiffening leads to inability in mouth opening and the
patient may experience difficulty in swallowing food.

Kavarana and Bhatena filled the defect after sectioning of fibrous bands with 2 inferiorly based nasolabial flaps. with division of the pedicle after 3 weeks, and observed average mouth opening of 2.5 cm, with acceptable external scars.
Borle and Borle reported disappointing results with skin grafting to cover the raw area and used tongue flap to cover the defect.
Khanna and Andrade reported the incidence of shrinkage, contraction, and rejection of split skin graft as very high, owing to poor oral condition, with recurrence in 12 cases.
In the present series, esthetics and function achieved with split skin graft was good but showed some degree of relapse due to contracture of the graft.

Tongue flaps were found to be bulky and required additional
surgery for detachment.
Bilateral tongue flaps caused severe dysphagia and
disarticulation along with the risk of postoperative aspiration.
The authors observed restricted mobility of tongue in the
immediate postoperative phase, causing discomfort to the
patient and difficulty in speech, which made it a less ideal
choice.

Nasolabial flaps can not be extended adequately to cover the
raw area, and they also cause facial scars and at times are hair

This technique, accompanied with bilateral temporalis
myotomy and coronoidectomy, is a highly effective surgical
procedure.

Mokal et al advocated use of vascularized temporal myofascial pedicled flap to bring in good blood supply to the area of affected muscle and mucosa to improve its function.
Yeh described the application of pedicled buccal fat pad after incision of fibrous bands and suggested that this was a very logical, convenient, and reliable technique for treatment of oral submucous fibrosis. In our hands, buccal fat pad served as a good substitute, because it provided excellent function without deteriorating the esthetics and the results obtained were sustained long term.

Huang et al Bilateral forearm flaps sacrifices one of the two major arteries in the
forearm. And bilateral anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps, which were traditionally used for reconstruction.
Both options are time consuming and required two donor sites. To eliminate these disadvantages,
Authors have developed a technical modification that allows harvesting of two independent flaps from one ALT thigh based on one descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery.
Eighteen flaps from nine donor sites were harvested for post-release reconstruction of oral submucous fibrosis.
