title: Oral submucous fibrosis.
abstract: 2 cases of oral submucous fibrosis have been reported. In each case, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically, and the treatment instituted was identical. Excision of buccal fibrotic bands was carried out, with subsequent placement of skin grafts. The patients were followed postoperatively to monitor results and particularly, to screen for malignant changes. The literature concerning oral submucous fibrosis is reviewed.
