Will my mouth opening come back to normal after OSMF surgery?
Mouth opening can improve a lot after Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) surgery, but a complete return to normal is not guaranteed. Results depend on how severe the fibrosis is and how extensive the fibrous bands are. Oral submucous fibrosis surgical treatment releases tight fibrous tissue and makes eating, chewing and speaking easier. For lasting results, keep up prescribed mouth-opening exercises, attend follow-ups and completely avoid gutkha, supari, tobacco and betel nut. Proper oral submucous fibrosis treatment with post-surgical physiotherapy helps keep the improved opening.
