Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a mucocutaneous disorder characterized by the detachment of epidermal and mucous tissues and areas of necrosis, resulting from hypersensitivity reactions to different drugs. We report a clinical case of a 19-year-old male patient diagnosed with TEN, with 90% involvement of the body surface and severe oral involvement. The patient was monitored by dentists from the multidisciplinary team of an intensive care unit, where adjuvant treatment was performed through photobiomodulation to control pain and regenerate the oral mucosa. The case represents the importance of early performance in oral TEN injuries and the role of the multidisciplinary team for comprehensive treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
