ABSTRACT

The chemical burns in the oral mucosa as consequence of accident of suicide attempt are relatively frequent. The evolution of the repairing process is conditioned by the quality and concentration of the caustic as by the location and time exposure of the affected region. At this report, we document a form of conservative treatment for the limitation of mouth opening, which the patient presented after swallowing a detergent acid. In order to obtain a minimal oral opening, a screwed cone, whose action mechanism was acting as a cradle between both jaws, was used. Once achieved a 10 mm opening, it was possible to use an external distractor to accomplish a continuous traction.

ABSTRACT

Las quemaduras químicas en la mucosa oral como consecuencia de accidentes o intentos de suicidio, con relativamente frecuentes. La evolución del proceso de reparación está condicionada por la cantidad y concentración del cáustico, así como por la localización y tiempo de exposición de la región afecta. En el presente trabajo, se documenta una forma de tratamiento conservador para la limitación de la abertura oral que presentaba una enferma, tras la ingesta de un detergente ácido. Para obtener una mínima abertura oral se utilizó un cono atornillado, cuyo mecanismo de acción era actuar de cuña entre los dos maxilares. Una vez obtenida una abertura de unos 10 mm., fue posible utilizar un distractor externo para realizar una tracción continua (AU)
