title: Failure of an intra-oral wound to heal. Case report.
abstract: Failure to treat the soft tissue component of dento-alveolar wounds may complicate wound healing mechanisms, retarding the rate of healing and increasing the risk of infection. A case is presented of a five-year-old with an intra-oral wound which, left untreated for eleven days, failed to resolve.
