Journal ArticleDOI
Malignant transformation rate in oral submucous fibrosis over a 17-year period.
TL;DR: A high degree of malignant potential is found in patients with oral submucous fibrosis followed-up for a period of 17 yr (median observation 10 yr) in Ernakulam District, Kerala, India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology of oral submucous fibrosis with special reference to the role of areca nut chewing
TL;DR: Oral submucous fibrosis is a high risk precancerous condition, predominantly affecting Indians, and consumption of chilli was hypothesized as an etiologic factor on the basis of ecological observations and a solitary animal experimental study.
Journal ArticleDOI
A case-control study of oral submucous fibrosis with special reference to the etiologic role of areca nut.
P. N. Sinor,Prakash C. Gupta,P. R. Murti,R. B. Bhonsle,D. K. Daftary,F. S. Mehta,J. J. Pindborg +6 more
TL;DR: Areca nut is confirmed as the most important etiologic factor in oral submucous fibrosis and the relative risks increased with increase in the frequency as well as the duration of chewing habits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral submucous fibrosis as a precancerous condition.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that submucous fibrosis is a precancerous condition was reinforced, based on observations of 89 patients with the disease in Ernakulam District, Kerala, India, where malignant transformation and coexistence together, oral cancer was observed in 13% of the present material.
