Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Capsule Lycopene 10000 mcg  Lycopene, an effective anti-oxidant from tomato extract has been proved to be the most potent radical scavenger in various in-vivo and in-vitro studies. Apart from its use in other health related conditions, its antioxidant properties have also been evaluated in the management of OSMF 
Comparator Agent  Intralesional injection of Dexamethasone 1.5ml+ Intralesional injection of Hyaluronidase 1500 IU + with 0.5ml lignocaine HCL  corticosteroids have shown promising results in improving mouth opening and reducing inflammation. Synthetic corticosteroids such as dexamethasone have been effectively administered intralesionally 
Intervention  T.Pentoxifylline 400mg  pentoxifylline, a xanthine derivative, known for its vasodilating capabilities and anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, immunomodulatory, effects. Pentoxifylline has been shown to improve mouth opening and reduce the burning sensation in OSMF patients
