Rationale and application of Nasolabial flap in the Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis-A Case Series
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Oral submucous fibrosis is an insidious chronic debilitating disease affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, and upper digestive tract and associated with restricted mouth opening. Its etiology is directly linked to betel nut chewing, common to the Indian subcontinent, South East, and Pacific Region. Autoimmune and genetic etiologies have been proposed, but betel nut chewing is thought to be the primary cause. OSF’s morbidity/mortality is associated with significant masticatory dysfunction and discomfort, as well as an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma. OSF has a malignant transformation rate of 7% to 30% described in different literatures [1,2]. Surgical management of advanced oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) using bilateral inferiorly based nasolabial flaps is becoming increasingly popular.
