C. SM fibro, once a day, for 1 months, Very helpful for already diagnosed OSMF cases.

Can't confirm osmf without physically examining....but it it is so the first step is to get your scaling done and stop consuming the tobacco product whichever u are consuming....and take the medication as per the dentist....and yes it can be cured completely if detected early provided u stop the habit and get the treatment done accordingly
