Treating electrical burns of the mouths of children.
Electrical burns of the mouth can result in severe scarring and constriction of the lip commissures. Plastic surgery is needed to correct this defect when a special burn obturator is not used. The obturator is worn for a year and can prevent or reduce the need for corrective surgery.
