Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients between age group of 18-45 years will be included in the study. Individuals with clinically established stages of OSMF with burning sensation, limited mouth opening, palpable fibrous bands. Patients giving history of decreased salivation for a duration of more than 6 months. Clinical examination revealed hyposalivation due to habit induced OSMF will be included in the study group.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The study excludes patients undergoing treatment for Oral Submucous Fibrosis, those with any salivary gland disorder, whether they are currently on medication for it or not. Additionally, individuals with a history of stress, systemic conditions or diseases likely to decrease salivation, radiation therapy, mental illness, oral mucosal lesions, and denture wear are excluded. Moreover, participants using medications that could affect salivary parameters, such as diuretics, anticholinergics, antihistamines, antihypertensives, and psychotropic substances, are not considered. Those with prolonged habits of smoking and alcohol consumption are also excluded from the study.
