Oral submucous fibrosis is a potentially malignant disorder, having its highest incidence in the south east asian population. It affects oral, oropharyngeal, and at times esophageal mucosa, producing clinical signs and symptoms including excessive salivation, limited mouth opening, burning sensation, absent gustatory sensation, difficulty in chewing and swallowing, narrowing of the eustachian tube causing disturbance in hearing too.There has been reported a high risk of malignant transformation associated with the same. Buccal Fat Pad has been reported to be succesful in the management of the same. We report a case where buccal pad of fat has been successfully used in the management of oral submucous fibrosis.
