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.
口周损伤可能会给儿童带来重大的医学、牙科和心理后果。软组织损伤很常见，最常见的类型为挫伤、擦伤、撕裂伤以及电击伤和化学烧伤。每种类型都需要特定的护理和后续跟进。立即进行干预和治疗很重要，治疗前对儿童进行快速神经学评估有助于改善长期预后。还必须对儿童进行虐待和忽视筛查。治疗的共同目标是预防感染、恢复功能并尽量减少瘢痕形成。口周损伤是可以预防的。
