Brain disorder disability is assessed when organic brain lesion such as cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or stroke causes physical impairment which limits daily activites substantially according to its level and range of paralysis or the presence of involuntary movement. According to the disabled person welfare law in Korea, grade I brain disorder is assessed when one is in continuous irreversible state of coma without the ability to prolong one’s life without other’s help. Self-injurious behavior is defined as the non-suicidal intentional or unintentional injury to one’s own body which can occur repetitively temporarily or chronically. People with decreased consciousness often exhibit increased self-injurious behavior which is most commonly associated with tongue or lip biting. This report documents a successful self -injurious lip biting treatment of a brain lesion patient within a short time by applying a removable acrylic resin appliance including posterior bite block.
