Hi,
The treatment modalities available are Intralesional steroid injections, surgical removal of the fibrous bands, TMJ exercises and antioxidants. Consult an oral and maxillo-facial surgeon in your locality for your treatment.

Hi,
As you have sub mucous fibrosis,I do not think any surgery is there.
Some times local injection of cortizone is given but its efficacy is doubtful.
But for gradual improvement of sub mucous fibrosis is there,do following things.
1,remove the cause like gutkha chewing,tobacoo chewing etc.
2,use gargles of feel fresh,or listerine liquid.
3,Do daily exercise of widely opening of your mouth and closing,10 mnt in the morning and in the evening.
Ok and bye.
