This Diwali greatest Gift for Tobacco Chewer – TrisCaRe

CAN NOT ENJOY FOOD DUE TO TRISMUS Caused by PAAN MASALA

This Diwali greatest Gift for Tobacco Chewer – TRISCaRe

Mr. Anil Joshi a regular tobacco user for 12 years when he visited MAX-ICanCaRe Oral Care and Tobacco Cessation Centre at MAX Vaishali, 3 months back he was all fears that he must have developed cancer in the oral cavity. His mouth opening was just 1.5 fingers around 2 cm and has been decreasing over a period of time.

At the center he was examined thoroughly, certain procedures were conducted, and were declared that he does not have cancer! His oral cavity was cleaned, tobacco stains removed and for his mouth opening, he was given a special instrument TRISCaRe and training to use it regularly.

Dr. Harshita Pandey, Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialist and in charge of the center says all those who take tobacco is not necessary will have cancer, however they develop specific changes in the oral cavity that needs to be taken care of. One of the commonest problems tobacco users have is decreased mouth opening. We examine and treat them and give them TRISCaRe, the innovative mouth-opening device.

Mr. Anil has a mouth opening of 3.2 cm and says he is happy that he would be able to enjoy eating golgappas, laddoos, and rasagollas this Diwali thanks to the doctors at MAX-ICanCaRe Oral Care and Tobacco Cessation center. Now I am completely tobacco-free and glad I have no cancer. This is the greatest Diwali gift I got!

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch., Director, Cancer Surgery, at MAX Institute of Cancer Care, who designed and patented TrisCaRe says this simple instrument is the greatest gift for tobacco chewers. Lots of brainstorming was done to make TrisCaRe although the design and prelim model was introduced in 2010, that would fail the test of pressure required to open the mouth – either teeth would break or the instrument would break. The present material used has now stood the test on thousands of patients and is working wonders. TrisCaRe is, the Innovative Mouth Opening Device is ergonomically designed, Screw type, Broad Dental Plate, Measurement Scale for trismus measurement, and POLYOXYMETHYLENE material with good fatigue resistance.

He is happy for patients like Anil who have benefitted from his instrument TrisCaRe and Oral CaRe program.

ICanCaRe with its innovative tobacco cessation and oral care program has been benefitting thousands of tobacco users across India. Program is available virtual and also physical at ICanCaRe direct or trained Specialist centers.
