Multidisciplinary approach to the management of oral commissure burns in pediatric patients: A case report

Electrical burns to the oral commissure are uncommon injuries that can lead to significant functional and esthetic complications if not promptly and appropriately managed. This case report details the management of a 14-year-old male with post-burn oral commissure scarring resulting from an electrical injury sustained at the age of 6. The treatment included the fabrication and application of a custom commissure splint combined with intralesional corticosteroid injections by a plastic surgeon to improve scar pliability and oral function. The report highlights the integration of dental prostheses and surgical interventions to achieve favorable outcomes.
