abstract="Perioral injuries may have significant medical, dental and psychological consequences in children. Soft-tissue injuries are common-place, with the most common types being contusions, abrasions, lacerations and electrical and chemical burns. Each type requires specific care and follow through. Immediate intervention and treatment are important, and rapid neurologic assessment of a child before treatment helps the long-term prognosis. Children must also be screened for abuse and neglect. The common goal of treatment is to prevent infection, provide function and minimize scarring. Perioral injuries are preventable.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
