[Methods and effects of injection of salvianolic acid B combined with triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of oral submucous fibrosis].

PURPOSE: To introduce the methods of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and salvianolic acid B(SA-B) intralesional injection in the treatment of oral submucous fibrosis and evaluate the treatment effects.

METHODS: TA combined with SA-B were consecutively applied intralesionally 1 time weekly for 30 times. The technique of intralesional injection was that syringe needle be emptied into submucous tissues 1 cm posterior to the corner of oral cavity running from the front to retromolar area by pushing the injection, then the syringe needle retained to the original point and upward from the front to retromolar area by pushing the injection, finally the syringe needle returned to the starting point and downward from the front to retromolar area by pushing the injection. Mouth opening, the color change of the buccal mucosa and the increase of capillary vessels as determined by degree I-IV visual analog scale were evaluated at 12, 24, and 36 month. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0 software package.

RESULTS: One hundred and fourteen subjects fulfilled the study without obvious adverse reactions. After treatment for 36 months , the net gain in mouth opening of the early stage group,middle stage group and advanced stage group was (12.0±1.2) mm, (14.5±2.4) mm and (15.5±1.5) mm, respectively. The response rate of color change of the buccal mucosa and the increase of capillary vessels in early stage group, middle stage group and advanced stage group after treatment for 36 months was 100%, 94.7% and 90.7%, respectively.
