Can oral mucosa fibrosis heal itself?

Oral mucosa fibrosis is not self-healing. Oral mucosa fibrosis is mainly caused by degeneration of fibrous tissue in the lamina propria and epithelial atrophy. There are many reasons for this situation, which may be caused by genetic factors, or excessive chewing of betel nut. There may also be abnormal immune system function and elevated zinc, lead and iron, selenium and other factors. Therefore, oral mucosa fibrosis cannot heal itself and needs to be treated in the stomatology department of the hospital as soon as possible. At this stage, the treatment of oral mucosa fibrosis is mainly based on drugs. For the case of mouth opening limitation, surgery can be used for treatment.
