The oral cavity is the site of many diseases. An adequate diagnosis
is essential as these lesions may vary in nature from simple to
life threatening ones. The oral mucous membrane is a unique tissue
which is continuously exposed to various kinds of stress such as
heat, cold, microorganisms, chemicals & mechanical irritations,
in the process of food intake. In response to these stress, both
epithelial and connective tissue layers of oral mucosa exhibit
acute & chronic reactive changes. Oral submucous fibrosis is a
chronic, progressive, scarring disease, that predominantly affects
the people of South-East Asian origin. Condition was first describe
by Schwartz (1952) while examining five Indian women from Kenya, to
which he described the term "atropia idiopathica tropica mucosae
oris." Later in 1953, Joshi from Bombay (Mumbai) redesignated the
condition as oral submucous fibrosis.
