Patients  (1) ICD-10 Condition: K135||Oral submucous fibrosis,  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  balloon exercise EXERCISE FOR 8 WEEKS (2MONTHS)  Ballooning exercises were taught to the patient. Instructions were given to blow the balloon 4-5 times a day for 8 weeks (2 MONTHS) 
Comparator Agent  ice cream stick- EXERCISE FOR 8 WEEKS (2MONTHS)  Ice-cream-stick exercise were taught to the patient. Instructions were given and asked to undertake jaw exercise five times a day for 8 weeks, in which ice cream stick were positioned passively between anterior teeth, number determined by comfortable maximal oral opening. The jaws were opened five times in each session, and held in position with the teeth resting on the stick for 1 minute on each occasion- FOR 2 MONTHS 
Intervention  mouth opener device EXERCISE FOR 8 WEEKS (2MONTHS)  Mouth opener device exercise were taught to the patient. Patient were instructed to place the mouth opener device between the incisor teeth and rotate in clockwise direction manually ten times twice a day for 8 weeks(2 MONTHS) 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  70.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  clinical signs and symptoms of OSMF grade II with an inter-incisal distance 26-35mm 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  malignant lesions, patients with smoking history, presence of any oral or systemic inflammatory conditions 
 
Method of Generating Random Sequence   Coin toss, Lottery, toss of dice, shuffling cards etc 
Method of Concealment   Pre-numbered or coded identical Containers 
Blinding/Masking   Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The management of OSMF patients should primarily be focused towards improving the MO and increasing flexibility of the oral mucosa to halt the possibility of malignant changes and thus mouth exercise physical therapy independently or in combination with other modalities may be useful to improve mouth opening (MO) in OSMF.   2 MONTHS

Brief Summary   For this clinical study, detailed case history will be taken for all the patients reporting to the OPD of Oral medicine and radiology with complaint of reduced mouth opening with history of tobacco chewing habits. All the clinical signs and symptoms of Oral submucous fibrosis were assessed and recorded in a study proforma. All the patients matching the inclusion and exclusion criteria, diagnosed clinically and histopathologically with Oral submucous fibrosis  with all age ranges and both genders are included in the study sample. Study was explained to all the patients and Informed consent was taken from all, diligently following the Helsinki declaration. The sample size consisted of 45 patients which were divided into 3 groups, 15 patients in each group. First group is subjected to balloon blow exercise and interincisal distance will be measured using vernier caliper before and after the treatment at 2 weeks, 4 weeks 6 weeks and 8 weeks. Second group is subjected to ice- cream exercise and interincisal distance will be measured using vernier caliper before and after the treatment at 2 weeks, 4 weeks 6 weeks and 8 weeks.Third group is subjected to mouth opener device and interincisal distance will be measured using vernier caliper before and after the treatment at 2 weeks, 4 weeks 6 weeks and 8 weeks.The principal investigator carried out the initial as well as periodic evaluations every week of all the participants.
