A Novel Clinical Protocol For Therapeutic Intervention & Oral Prophylaxis in Oral
Submucous Fibrosis Patients

Approximately 600 million persons are betel chewing, with a hot spot throughout the
Western Pacific basin and South Asia. This makes betel the fourth most-consumed drug
after nicotine, ethanol, and caffeine.
Asian immigrant communities are growing in Western countries. Some authors have
suggested implementation of an oral cancer screening by health care providers. On the other

immigrants. Physicians and dentists in the Western world should know about OSF to make
an early diagnosis that will help to reduce morbidity and mortality.
The Presentation will illustrate the relentless progression of OSF and its significant
morbidity and mortality; they also emphasize the importance of close follow-up of such
cases. Because of the significant cancer risk among these patients, periodic biopsies of
suspicious regions of the oral mucosa are essential for early detection and management of
high-risk oral premalignant lesions and prevention of cancer. Dentists can play an important
role in both the education of patients about the perils of chewing betel quid and in the early
diagnosis of high-risk premalignant lesions and cancer.
