Abstract

Burns of the oral cavity may be caused by prolonged use of certain drugs by the patient or by incorrect use of caustics by the dentist. Unwillingly-acquired self-inflicted injuries are also encountered, such as caustic ingestion (out of curiosity or by accident), excessive consumption of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice, and wrong oral hygiene practice. Our experience with six infrequent and unfamiliar types of oral burns, caused by various components and material, is described and discussed.
