Correction of cheek biting in a dentate patient

Postsurgical injury by teeth to oral mucosa (reconstructed by a flap) can lead to ulceration and subsequent infection at the reconstructed site. A prompt intervention by fabricating a specially designed prosthesis to deflect the reconstruction flap away from the occluding teeth has been described for the treatment of cheek biting in the present clinical report.
