Abstract

The purpose of this report was to describe the case of a self-inflicted oral injury in a 1 1/2-year-old child that may be related to chronic pain caused by a severely burned body. In the present case, the patient lost his mandibular primary incisors due to continuous teeth clenching. He further traumatized the socket, resulting in severe ulceration. Extraction of the maxillary central and lateral incisors under local anaesthesia was performed to prevent further injury and additional medical problems.
