A 7-year-old male presented with a painful ulcerative lesion on the right lateral tongue and left lower buccal mucosa due to self-inflicted trauma. Antibiotic medication and use of a mouthwash agent were not effective. We made a special oral appliance to cover the maxillary arch and teeth to protect the tongue. The patient showed immediate improvement and did not suffer from any complications. Invasive procedures such as biopsy were not needed. We believe that accurate clinical diagnosis is important and treatment with an oral appliance is effective in self-inflicted oral trauma in children.
一名7岁男性因自我造成的创伤，右侧舌外侧和左侧颊黏膜下部出现疼痛性溃疡性病变。抗生素治疗和漱口水使用均无效。我们制作了一种特殊的口腔矫治器来覆盖上颌牙弓和牙齿以保护舌头。患者症状立即改善，且未出现任何并发症。无需进行活检等侵入性操作。我们认为准确的临床诊断很重要，使用口腔矫治器治疗儿童自我造成的口腔创伤是有效的。
