“…The alkalis dissolve the proteins and collagens, leading to the saponification of the fatty tissue and to liquefactive necrosis. The saponification and liquefactive necrosis do not limit the tissue penetration, so compared to acids, alkalis have the potential to cause more extensive damage and to allow deeper penetration of the chemicals . The most common lesions are chemical burns; the more the toxic agents persist its action impairing the healing process, these lesions evolve to ulcers, bone necrosis, or even fistulas (Table ).…”

We report a unique case of a potassium aluminum sulfate oral dissolution leading to palatal chemical necrosis and extensive chemical ulcers on the tongue. The patient, a 47-year-old white, blind male, denied using cocaine or other illegal drugs that could cause such lesions. His self-medication started as a treatment for a traumatic ulcerative lesion on the hard palate. After palatal perforation, he started another self-medication routine, mixing corticoid cream and tandrilax tablets with a gauze obturator. Our treatment comprised the removal of all chemical factors, a surgical debridement, and a prosthetic obturator to resolve the communication. The 1-year follow-up showed no complications.

“…Such ulcers may have been present for several weeks and may be deep crater-like lesions with rolled edges which are indurated on palpation because of surrounding fibrosis. [12] Another cause might be the topical application of some drugs, like aspirin, that determinates chemical burns, dose-and time-related. The reactions vary in severity from oedema through to necrosis of the epithelium.…”

Ulcer constitutes loss of tissue involving the whole epithelium, that may affect connective tissue. It has typical features: central crater, relieved edges, yellow area. This primary lesion may be a sign of various diseases of the mouth, whose diagnosis might be quite challenging, because may range over many conditions like traumatic lesions, inflammatory diseases, infections, cancer, autoimmune diseases, topical application of drugs. To find a diagnostic classification it's important to recognize ulcers in acute or chronic, multiple or solitary, symptomatic or not. The authors report the case of a 46 year old man who presented at Martini hospital in Turin with the main complaint of the presence for 5 months of a asymptomatic exophytic ulcerated lesion of the oral mucosa, treated by the authors with complete excision and placement of PRF and medicated gauze.

Oral ulceration can emerge from various causes, including thermal, physical, chemical, immunological, and malignant processes. Chemical oral ulceration is comparatively rare; it can occur from the misuse of dental material, over-the-counter dental product ingredients, side effects of drugs, or can be a consequence of suicidal attempts such as ingestion of chemical products. 1 We present a case report for oral chemical ulceration as a result of iatrogenic hydraulic oil leaking from the air unit of a surgical handpiece during surgical tooth extraction. | CASE REPORTA 24-year-old female was referred to the Oral, Maxillofacial and Diagnostic Sciences Department, Collage of dentistry at Majmaah University, A day after surgical extraction of the lower left first molar at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic, Al-Zulfi General Hospital with a chief complaint of developing multiple painful ulcerations in the mouth. Ethical approval was obtained. According to the patient's medical history, she had a surgical extraction of the first lower left molar a day before the lesion developed. During the surgery, as the surgical handpiece is working, the patient experiences a burning sensation on the contralateral
