“…Further, 7 of these dealt with delayed management of contractures of the oral mucosa. Only 3 reports describing the use of skin grafts for oral reconstruction were found [9][10][11]. Our patient presented with chemical burns restricted to the oral cavity alone, as she was able to spit the liquid out, avoiding any injuries distal to the oral cavity.…”

Treatment and reconstruction of oral scar contracture, is always a challenging procedure to restore structure and functions of the oral cavity. We present a case of a patient with limited mouth opening who sustained extensive oral scar contracture with complete adhesion of tongue to floor of mouth following ingestion of caustic soda without his knowledge 4 years back. We performed a surgical release of the scar contractures from buccal mucosa on both sides, along with a release of the tongue from the floor of the mouth, followed by reconstruction of all sites using split skin grafts. Adequate mouth opening and tongue movement was achieved. There was a follow up period of 1 month with excellent mouth opening and tongue function.

“…1,3 Los ácidos producen necrosis por coagulación proteínica con pérdida de agua, lo que forma una escara firme y protectora que dificulta en parte una mayor penetración, salvo en concentraciones elevadas. [6][7][8] Los álcalis provocan necrosis por licuefacción con desnaturalización de las proteínas, saponificación de las grasas y trombosis capilares. Estas reacciones favorecen la profundización de las lesiones.…”

<p>La ingestión de sustancias cáusticas es un grave problema médico y social. La prevención de estos accidentes es esencial para evitar las lesiones y secuelas en la cavidad oral y en el tubo digestivo. Las lesiones producidas por esas sustancias se clasifican, desde un punto de vista anatomopatológico, de manera similar a las quemaduras de la piel. Existe relación entre el grado de profundidad de la lesión, los hallazgos endoscópicos y el pronóstico. La localización, la extensión y la gravedad de las lesiones dependen de muchos factores relacionados con el cáustico, por lo que es muy importante identificar el tipo de cáustico, las propiedades organolépticas, la concentración, la cantidad ingerida, el tiempo transcurrido desde la ingesta, si se han realizado medidas para neutralizar que puedan añadir un efecto térmico y la voluntad o no de la ingesta.</p><p>El objetivo de este artículo es establecer, en el Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, la clasificación de lesiones bucales y las bases para su rehabilitación de forma integral; ello con la finalidad de evitar secuelas que limiten la función estética, el crecimiento y desarrollo adecuados con las características orofaciales de cada paciente.</p>

“…Although the management of microstomia [1], esophageal strictures and other gastrointestinal complications secondary to acid ingestion have been well discussed in the literature [2], there are very few reports that deal with the correction of intra-oral scar contracture and tongue fusion [3][4][5]. There has been no report that describes the effects of long-standing oral contracture secondary to burns on the growth and development of the maxillofacial structures.…”

Oral burn due to ingestion of corrosive substances can bring about debilitating consequences. It often brings mortality, and the survivors can have severe impairment of functions, especially in relation to the stomatognathic and gastrointestinal systems. This article presents a long-standing case (21 years) of an oral burn caused by a corrosive substance, its manifestation on growth and development of the face and its treatment. The patient was accidentally given acid orally when he was 4 months of age. He was treated at 21 years of age: the time he reported to us. This seems to be the first case report that describes the effects of long standing oral contracture secondary to burns on the growth and development of the maxillofacial structures and its treatment with a novel approach.
