Abstract

A case of chemical injury to the oral mucosa that resulted in obstructive sialadenitis of the submandibular glands is presented. The injury occurred when a patient chewed, swished, and expectorated an immersion-type denture-cleansing tablet attempting to clean a fixed bridge. The literature is reviewed for similar oral mucosal injury caused by improper use of denture-cleansing products. Suggestions for the prevention of such injuries are made.
