Self-induced facial and oral lesions are rare but indicate underlying psychiatric conditions, often linked to personal gain. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Psychiatry
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Self-induced lesions of the face and mouth are uncommon presentations in dental practice.
  • These lesions often signify underlying psychiatric disorders, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach.

Observation:

  • Three cases of deliberately self-induced orofacial lesions are presented.
  • The patients' motivations and the nature of the lesions varied.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of self-induced lesions requires careful evaluation to differentiate from other conditions.
  • Identifying the underlying psychiatric cause is critical for effective management.

Implications:

  • Understanding the psychological drivers behind self-induced lesions is key for dental professionals.
