“…On statistical analysis, a significant difference in the QoL was observed between the diseased and the control groups. The study reported that patients with OSMF had a negative impact on their social and personal relationships [13]. The key feature of their study was that the researchers measured QoL outcomes at different intervals after diagnosis of OSMF when the patients were undergoing clinical trials with different medications.…”

Introduction: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder commonly found in the Southeast Asian region, classically characterized through restricted mouth opening and burning sensation in the mouth on consuming spicy food. The etiopathogenesis and treatment aspects of OSMF have been extensively researched and reviewed. However, the effect of this condition on the Quality of Life (QoL) of patients has not gained much consideration. The aim of our case report is to highlight the importance of evaluating the QoL in an OSMF patient by using discipline-specific questionnaire and also to present to the readers a review of the recently published research articles on the application of QoL questionnaires in OSMF patients. Results: It was observed that most of the researchers used generic and discipline-specific questionnaire for evaluating the quality of life in OSMF patients. Conclusion: Evaluation of QoL is recommended during the treatment of OSMF patients. There is a need to develop and employ more of disease-specific QoL instruments for OSMF patients.

“…It is characterised by inflammation followed by fibrosis of the submucosa, which causes stiffness, a limited range of mouth opening and atrophy of the oral epithelium. In advanced stages of the disease, OSF has considerable negative effects on quality of life, including functional limits and psycho‐social impairment (Gondivkar, Bhowate, Gadbail, Gondivkar, et al, 2018; Gondivkar, Bhowate, Gadbail, Sarode, et al, 2018; Raja et al, 2013). People from South and South East Asian nations or Southern Asian immigrants to other regions of the world are more likely to suffer from OSF (Tilakaratne et al, 2016).…”

ObjectivesAn umbrella review is a systematic review of systematic reviews, which provides a tertiary level of evidence. This umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta‐analysis (SR‐MA) aimed to determine the proportion of oral cancer (OC) development in oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) patients.Materials and MethodsWe searched electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane and grey literature. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and assessed for eligible papers. The methodological quality of SR‐MA was evaluated using AMSTAR2, and we also checked the quality of evidence of the included papers.ResultsOut of 454 papers identified in the primary search, 105 underwent eligibility screening. Inclusion criteria were met by four SR‐MA. OC ratios ranged between 4.2% and 6% for OSF. Substantial heterogeneity was observed for this outcome in all four MA (I2 = 71.31% to 86.37%). None of the SRs assessed the quality of evidence, and half of them were judged to be of critically low methodological quality.ConclusionThere is lack of quality of evidences and critically low methodological quality among SRs and MA leading to substantial heterogeneity. However, due to potentially malignant nature, OSF patients should be monitored carefully for early detection of OC.

“…This results in to increasing stiffeness and marked rigidity of the tissues leading to reduced mouth opening, significantly compromising the patient’s QoL. It is evident that OSF have detrimental effects on OHRQoL and the worsening of QoL has been associated with advanced stages of OSF[ 15 ].…”

Quality of life (QoL) is a vital and often required health outcome measure that is relevant to patient care. A healthy oral cavity enables person to perform daily activities without any limitations. However, any disturbance may result in impaired QoL. The oral health-remains an essential element of people’s health and well-being. In recent years, the tradition of clinical practice and research has been changed by incorporating QoL assessment, as it helps in assessment of patients’ needs and monitoring treatment responses. Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are a group of chronic disorders including oral leukoplakia (OL), oral lichen planus and oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). It is evident that patients with OPMDs experience significant health-related symptoms, functional limitations and psycho-social impairment, compromising their QoL. Moreover, the worsening of QoL has been associated with advanced stages of OPMDs. Despite of increasing number of OPMD cases in recent decades, limited literature is available regarding QoL in this population. Although, there is higher prevalence of habit-related OPMDs, particularly OSF and OL in Southern Asian countries, only a few studies have been performed in these populations. Moreover, these studies administered generic QoL instruments, which offer less sensitivity to clinical changes. However, condition-specific instruments are more sensitive and allows better measurement of QoL. As the impacts of different conditions on OHRQoL may vary, the development and validation of a QoL instrument specific to each clinical entity of OPMDs is currently needed.
