摘要

Background

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive, potentiallymalignant disorder. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) + hyaluronidase (HA)remains widely used, yet its functional effectiveness in real-world settings is uncertain.

Methods

A retrospective cohort (n = 54; Stage II–III) received six biweekly TA 20 mg +HA 750 IU injections plus adjuncts continued for six months. Outcomes: change inmaximum inter-incisal opening (MIO), pain (VAS), quality of life (OHIP-14), andhaemoglobin. Linear regression tested predictors (baseline MIO, stage, anaemia,compliance).

Results

Mean MIO 22.4–24.6 mm (Δ 2.2 mm; p = 0.08; d = 0.49); 11% achieved ≥ 5mm gain. VAS decreased by 1 point (p = 0.04); OHIP-14 unchanged (p = 0.13).Regression R² = 0.07 (adjusted R² = 0.03; F(4,49) = 0.92, p = 0.46). No adverse events;compliance 65%.

Conclusion

Intralesional TA + HA yielded limited functional improvement and modestsymptom relief. Multimodal, preventive, and regenerative approaches requireprospective validation.
