Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal
Due to the Oral Submucous Fibrosis disease, the mouth of a patient opens less and he/she is only able to take liquid diet. Patients cannot even clean their teeth. Due to not having proper diet, they feel fatigue, which makes their immunity weak.
During this, cancer disease can also develop in approximately 10 percent of the patients. The only cure left is surgery, and even that is not very effective.
To get rid of this problem, Dr Anshul Rai of AIIMS has developed a new technique for the treatment of this disease.
In this new technique, the internal hard skin of the cheek has been removed and a combination of buccal fat pads was used in patients. The results of which were quite good. Dr. Anshul Rai, Additional Professor, Department of Dentistry, AIIMS, has been given copyright by the Government of India, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, as Intellectual Property India, for the technology developed through his research.
Free for Ayushman card holders – Dr. Anshul Rai said that after treatment with this new technology, the patients’ mouth will be able to open up to four or four fingers. This facility will be provided free of cost to Ayushman card holders in the dentistry department of AIIMS. For the last 10 years, he is studying and treating patients who eat tobacco and betel nut. During this, 3 research papers have also been published. A modified instrument has been made to be used in the treatment of the disease.
