Journal Title: Dentistry – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Self-inflicted oral injuries are commonly seen in certain syndromes and systemic disorders. Most frequently affected regions of the body are the oral and perioral tissues, hands and neck. Although no medical treatment is available, timely dental intervention is essential to prevent further complications. The aim of this paper is to report a unique case of oral self-injury in a 10-month-old infant which was successfully treated with conservative therapy and also to briefly review the literature.
