Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive disorder leading to fibrosis, trismus, and burning sensation. Physiotherapy is a non-invasive approach aimed at improving oral mobility.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 50 OSMF patients underwent daily physiotherapy exercises using ice cream sticks for six months. Mouth opening was measured at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
RESULTS: Physiotherapy led to a moderate increase in mouth opening, but pain relief and symptom improvement were limited. Compliance was a challenge due to patient discomfort.
CONCLUSION: Physiotherapy is a viable conservative treatment for OSMF but should be combined with adjunct therapies for better symptom management and long-term effectiveness.
