The oral mucosa loses resiliency in the advanced stage and becomes blanched and stiff. This blanched and stiff mucosa is considered to lead to a progressive reduction in mouth opening but seems to be an oversimplification of the pathology. The degree of mouth opening is also determined by the severity of oral symptoms, such as recurring or persistent glossitis and stomatitis, a fact that many researchers ignore. This phenomenon is explained by the term Reflectory Trismus, where the above symptoms dictate the degree of mouth opening through activation of the 5th and 9th cranial nerves. However, muscle damage and fibrosis play a larger contributory role.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The condition is believed to begin in the posterior part of the oral cavity and gradually spread outward. The premise posterior to the anterior progression of oral submucous fibrosis has been recently rebutted based on several reports stating that the disease may be restricted to the anterior part of the oral cavity without involvement of posterior parts; the sites are dictated by the manner of use anterior areas of the oral cavity when spitting and posterior when swallowed.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Other features of the disease include: </p> <ul><li>Xerostomia</li> <li>Recurrent ulceration</li> <li>Pain in the ear or deafness</li> <li>Nasal intonation of voice</li> <li>Restriction of the movement of the soft palate</li> <li>A budlike shrunken <a href="/wiki/Uvula" title="Uvula">uvula</a></li> <li>Thinning and stiffening of the lips</li> <li>Pigmentation of the oral mucosa</li> <li>Dryness of the mouth and burning sensation (stomatopyrosis)</li> <li>Decreased tongue protrusion</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cause">Cause</h2></div> <ul><li>Dried products such as <a href="/wiki/Paan" class="mw-redirect" title="Paan">paan masala</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gutkha" class="mw-redirect" title="Gutkha">gutkha</a> have higher concentrations of <a href="/wiki/Areca_nut" title="Areca nut">areca nut</a> and appear to cause the disease.</li> <li>Areca nut is the definitive causative agent of OSF.<sup id="cite_ref-Sharma_2024_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sharma_2024-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>A new term was introduced by Sharma et al., in 2024 "Areca Nut induced oral Fibrosis (AIOF)" since fibrosis in the oral cavity can occur due to various causes and thus have varying malignant propensity.The reclassification of OSF as AIOF has significant implications for diagnosis and management. It emphasizes the primary causative agent and its role in developing the condition. This reclassification improves diagnosis, management, and patient education.
