1. Oral burns can be caused by extreme heat, flames, chemicals, or electricity and can damage the soft tissues of the mouth. 2. The most common types of oral burns are thermal burns from hot foods or drinks, chemical burns from medications or household chemicals, and electric burns from chewing or sucking on exposed wires. 3. Treatment for oral burns depends on their severity but may include using a prosthetic burn appliance placed 10-14 days after injury to help prevent tissue contracture and asymmetry during healing. Prevention through educating patients, especially children, about burn risks is important.

6.  Burns of the oral mucosa are a frequent
cause of transient non-keratotic white lesions
(d .d of white lesions )
 The others :
1- habitual cheek or lip biting .
2- specific infectious candidiasis.(thrush )

8. Thermal burn-1
 Central palatal burns associated with the
eating of pizza or other hot cheese dishes
are often more severe.
 The thick keratinized dorsal surface of the
tongue with an adhering coat of saliva is
more resistant to thermal and chemical burns
than are thinner drier areas of the mucosa
such as the palate
