Abstract
Background: Chemicals agents are commonly found in people activities. It has a big role, especially in the oral cavity. The
adverse effects that have been reported in cellular, animal and human studies include: chemical burn, cervical root resorption
associated with non-vital bleaching; increased tooth sensitivity associated with vital bleaching; alteration in the surface topography
of enamel; reduction in bond strength of resin based materials and the possibility that H2O2 may have carcinogenic or tumor
promoting capabilities Chemical agents are often used by people. But the chemical agents can cause the damage in human body
such as oral cavity.
Objectives: To know the association between dental treatment and chemical burns in oral cavity.
Problem statement: In dental treatment, chemical agents are often used by dentist due to its function. But chemical agents can
cause the damage in oral mucosa.
Discussion: One of the chemicals that is often found can cause chemical burn in oral mucosa is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen
peroxides or H2O2 is used to decrease plaque formation and to control pyorrhea (gum inflammation). The mechanism of antimicrobial
action is due to the release of nascent oxygen which is detrimental to anaerobes. It acts on both Gram positive and Gram-negative
organism. H2O2 solutions usually do not result in severe toxicity but may cause vomiting; mild irritation to mucosa; and burns in the
mouth, throat, oesophagus, and stomach. Ingestion of higher concentrations (>10%) can result in more dangerous sequelae, such
as burns to mucus membranes and gut mucosa.
Conclusion: The use of chemical agents in dental treatment can cause the chemical burns in oral cavity. So, the patients need
to listen more towards the dentist about the instruction after treatment so the materials cannot cause the irritation in oral mucosa.
