Abstract
|
|
|
Oral self-injurious behavior (SIB) can be defined as the intentional, direct injuring of oral tissue, most often done without conscious suicidal intent and most commonly associated with tongue or lip biting. Chronic biting of oral mucosa is an innocuous self inflicted injury, commonly seen in children suffering from developmental and psychological problems. The cases presented in this report discuss oral SIB due to epilepsy, quadriplegia and their treatments. This report documents a successful self-injurious behavior treatment of epilepsy patients within a short time by applying a removable intraoral device. Clinicians should notice the possibility of oral SIB in various disorders. Moreover, different treatment should be
performed according to the causative disorders and symptoms.
