Abstract

Inflammation and increasing fibrosis in the submucous region are the hallmarks of oral submucous fibrosis, a precancerous condition that reduces tongue protrusion, an intense burning sensation, and trismus before making it difficult to open the mouth. Squamous cell cancer and hearing loss may develop as a result of negligence and untreated OSMF in advancedstages. Oral health issues are brought on by some bad human behaviours, such as chewing tobacco, pan masala, and areca nuts. Of them, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), oral mucous lesion (OML), leucoplakia, and erythroplakia are the most prevalent. OSMF is now recognisedon a global scale as being an Indian disease with the greatest prevalence of oral cancer. Numerous classifications based on histology, clinical grades, stages, types of cases, functionalstages, etc. have been described in the medical literature over the years. Every classification offers benefits and drawbacks on its own. This study demonstrates current understanding of allreported classes, making it valuable for early diagnosis and treatment in academic and researchsettings. Etiopathogenesis factors have also been successfully covered in-depth in this case. This study aims to impart knowledge on the comprehensive use of ayurvedic medicines for OSMF. Here, we spoke about how ayurveda medicine is a far superior option than all other types of surgical and nonsurgical treatments. It is easier to treat the condition when habits are stopped and ayurvedic medicines are used properly in the early stages of OSMF
