Management of Tongue Thermal Burn with Delayed Healing
- The management of tongue thermal burns with delayed healing can be challenging, and there is limited research specifically focused on this topic 1.
- However, studies on burn wound healing suggest that biofilms can delay wound healing, and the application of antimicrobials can help prevent wound infection 2.
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine may also play a role in the future of burn wound healing, offering a potential solution for damaged tissues 2.
- In cases of self-inflicted thermal injury, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been reported to be effective in promoting wound healing and reducing pain 3, 4.
- LLLT has been shown to promote cellular cycle generation, leading to productive and substitute cells, and can be used as an adjunctive treatment method for wound healing 3.
- The use of LLLT has been demonstrated to speed up the relief of symptoms and healing time in cases of thermal burns, including those in the oral cavity 4.
- It is essential to note that the management of burn injuries, including thermal burns, requires a comprehensive approach, including resuscitation, wound care, and prevention of infection 5.
