Assessment of Changes in Birefringence and Orientation of Collagen Fibres in Different Grades of Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma using Picrosirius Red and Polarising Microscopy

Introduction: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disease with a prevalence of 7-13%. It is characterised by the fibroelastic changes due to excessive deposition of collagen which results in dense fibrous bands and epithelial changes. About 90-95% of oral cancers are Oral Squam...
