Various medical and surgical modalities are being suggested in the literature for the management of OSMF. The present article reports one case of group III OSMF [as per classification by Khanna JN and Andrade NN (1995)] which was successfully managed in the department of “Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery” of M.A.Rangoonwala college of dental sciences and research centre, Pune.
