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.

This is the story of a young man, Satyaban, 37 years of age, security guard by profession, and a father of 3 children. His meager salary supports 7 members (parents, children, wife, and himself). He was under treatment of an ENT doctor for some throat infection, and was referred to MAX – ICanCaRe TOBACCO CESSATION AND ORAL SCREENING Centre at MAX Vaishali for his tobacco addiction.
Satyaban was seen by Dr. Harshita Pandey, BDS, and the Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialist at MAX-ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation and Oral Screening Centre. The intervention process started as per the ABCD digitalized protocol of Tobacco Cessation on the ICanCaRe APP.
Satyaban had started tobacco after he got the job of security guard 7years back persuaded by one of his senior colleagues. He was counseled and medications for tobacco cessation were prescribed.
As a part of “C” of ABCD of tobacco cessation when his oral Screening was done, there it was!! A small verrucous lesion 5 x 2 mm on the inner side of his lip. A potential malignant lesion (likely to be premalignant at present). If not take care of at the early stages it would be a disaster with an aggressive tumor later on.
Mouth opening reduced to 2.3 cm on the TrisCaRe just 2.5 fingers and extensive staining and unhygienic teeth which also requires attention. A simple excision was done of the lesion, oral prophylaxis and tobacco cessation intervention were performed. All this in a few hundred rupees, A life is saved and sure family would be happy!
Thanks to the ENT surgeon who referred the patient to the MAX-ICanCaRe TCC and Oral Screening center and more importantly to the VIGILANT EYE of Dr. Harshita Pandey.
According to Dr. Harshita Pandey, “the training I got as a Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialist by ICanCaRe which emphasizes not only on tobacco cessation but also on co-morbidity management has made me confident and different. I am excited to save lives and overwhelmed with the responses I get from my clients.”
