The patient had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed during one surgical session.The procedure was initially unremarkable.During suturing the wound after removing tooth # 48, extensive burns of the lower lip on the right side (lip red), and of the intraoral mucosa in the vestibule on the right with superficial blistering were noticed.The entire treatment was consistently cooled with sterile irrigation solution.The wounds have been treated with greasy-moist bandages as well as constant cooling.The wound healing was subsequently medically monitored.Scar-free healing cannot be predicted with certainty at this point in time.
