Abstract

Demographic data reveal a correlative relationship between facial burns and profoundly impaired dental health, while inhalation injury correlates with a high Periodontal Screening and Recording Index, both of which significantly reduce quality of life for the burn injury patient. Despite these facts, few if any burn centers surveyed in the U.S. or Germany enlist specialized services and well-defined follow-up protocols for patients who might well be at risk.

Facial burns represent a severe injury, the consequence of which may tragically lead to significant and long lasting functional, esthetic, and psychological sequelae such as perioral scarring, deformity and microstomia. Inhalation injury from inhaled heated air, gas, and chemical exposure are well-known causes of early as well as late airway injury, morbidity, and death. Thermal injury patterns to perioral-related and dental structures is increasingly being recognized.

This review delineates current burn-related dental health pathology and when available the underlying causation. These findings may help guide future research as well as therapeutic strategies to improve dental health and outcome for our patients.

期刊介绍： Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice. Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
