Laser as a promising non-invasive technique to treat oral submucous fibrosis: A systematic review of the literature

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is one of the common oral potentially malignant disorders that can result in severe morbidity. Depending upon the stage of disease, multiple management therapies exist which include medicinal and surgical approaches. Although the surgical approach is prefer...
