“…The similar pain could limit access to the oral cavity and makes oral hygiene practice uncomfortable and inefficient. Patients with an extended burn injury to the upper limbs, hands and fingers could have a greater disadvantage to carry out oral hygiene care effectively and could partly explain the lower frequency of brushing in the sample [32, 33]. It is also plausible, in really severe burn cases where the salivary glands are affected, that the salivary flow is reduced and the longer time elapsed after the burn incident only increases the period of exposure of the teeth and oral structures to plaque and the risk of developing caries [34].…”

“…Even with access to optimal treatment and rehabilitation, a number of patients still encounter debilitating challenges, such as contractures, hypertrophic scars, and neuropathy, that significantly impact their well-being [ 4 ]. While hand burns may not directly result in the patient's fatality, they can lead to significant biological, social, and psychological ramifications that diminish the overall quality of life [ 11 ]. Nearly 18 million individuals worldwide are believed to experience substantial limitations in their daily lives as a result of hand burns, leading to significant impairments [ 12 ].…”

“…Nearly 18 million individuals worldwide are believed to experience substantial limitations in their daily lives as a result of hand burns, leading to significant impairments [ 12 ]. In addition to the essential aspect of restoring hand functionality, it is crucial to recognize the significance of hand aesthetics, as hands are consistently exposed and actively involved in numerous social interactions [ 11 ]. A core principle in modern burn care is that a significant portion of burn injuries can be prevented through effective preventive measures [ 5 ].…”

“…To this end, the involvement of an interdisciplinary care team, including surgeons, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, and psychologists, as well as the participation of each team member from the day of admission are required (14). The main focus of rehabilitation is to restore the performance and improve the appearance of burned areas (15). Hand performance is defined as the "ability to use hands in Activities of Daily Living (ADL)" (16).…”
