Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is now accepted globally as an Indian disease, having highest malignant potential<br> than any other oral premalignant lesions. The understanding of the exact role of alkaloids and other etiological agents with<br> respect to pathogenesis will help the management and minimize the blind clinical trials and treatment modalities. This<br> article provides an overview of the etiopathogenesis with stress on the recent concepts related to this chronic “Indian<br> Disease”.
