Abstract: 

Aim: To compare the efficacy of intra lesional steroid preparation with aloevera gel in the treatment of oral submucous fibrosis. Materials and method: In the present study, Group A patients were given Aloe vera gel for 2 months along with antioxidant clik capsule for a period of 6 months. Group B patients were given intralesional injections for 2 months along with antioxidant clik capsule for a period of 6 months Result: Decrease in the score of burning sensation was found to be significant among patients both in Group A and Group B. The decrease in the burning sensation score was found to be statistically significant i.e. (p value <0.001).Though it was observed that the burning sensation intensity reduction in group B was more than group A, the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Aloe vera being a soothing, simple, non-invasive and safe mode of treatment, can be considered to be an effectual protocol in the management of Oral submucous fibrosis.
