Low-voltage electric burns are the leading cause of electric burn injury in childhood and can result in an injury to the oral cavity that can heal with a noticeable deformity. The mechanisms of burn injuries to the oral cavity are either due to the electric arc or current or both. ⋯ Therapy for these injuries should include management of systemic sequelae and treatment of the local burn injury. Our therapeutic approach to this injury is dictated by the pathophysiology of the electric burn of the oral cavity.
