Management of oral submucous fibrosis by two different drug regimens: A comparative study.
[oral submucous fibrosis]
Oral
Submucous
Fibrosis
(
OSF
)
is
a
precancerous
condition
of
the
oral
mucosa
.
Existing
treatments
give
only
temporary
symptomatic
relief
.
Colchicine
is
an
ancient
drug
with
anti-fibrotic
and
anti-
inflammatory
properties
.
We
planned
to
study
the
effects
of
colchicine
in
the
management
of
oral
submucous
fibrosis
.
Fifty
OSF
patients
were
divided
randomly
into
two
groups
and
treated
for
12
weeks
.
Group
1
-
Patients
were
administered
tablet
colchicine
orally
,
0
.
5
mg
twice
daily
and
0
.
5
ml
intralesional
injection
Hyaluronidase
1
,
500
IU
into
each
buccal
mucosa
once
a
week
.
Group
2
-
Patients
were
administered
0
.
5
ml
intralesional
injection
Hyaluronidase
1
,
500
IU
and
0
.
5
ml
intralesional
injection
Hydrocortisone
acetate
25
mg
/
ml
in
each
buccal
mucosa
once
a
week
alternatively
.
Student
's
t
test
and
analysis
of
variance
(
ANOVA
)
were
used
to
compare
pre
and
post
treatment
results
.
P
<
0
.
05
was
considered
as
significant
.
Thirty
-
three
percent
in
group
1
got
relief
from
burning
sensation
in
the
second
week
.
Inter
group
comparisons
of
increase
in
mouth
opening
and
reduction
in
histological
parameters
indicated
that
group
1
patients
responded
better
than
group
2
.
These
encouraging
results
should
prompt
further
clinical
trials
with
colchicine
alone
on
a
larger
sample
size
to
broaden
the
therapeutic
usefulness
of
the
drug
in
the
management
of
OSF
.
