Abstract:

Aim: To compare intralesional placental extract and triamcinolone acetonidein patients with OSMF. Materials & Methods: Group I patients were given 1 ml of 40mg/mltriamcinolone acetonide and group II patients were administered 2 ml intralesional injections of aqueous placental extract on both buccal mucosa at weekly intervals for 10 weeks. Parameters such as burning sensation, pain (VAS), tongue protrusion, mouth opening and cheek flexibility were recorded pre- operatively and on follow up visits. Each group had 16 patients. Results: Both groups showed reduction in burning sensation, pain (VAS) and improvement in mouth opening, cheek flexibility and tongue protrusion. Conclusion: Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide found to be superior than placental extract in patients with OSMF.
