چکیده
Self mutilation of lips and tongue is considered a common type of Self-Injurious Behavior (SIB). Treatment of SIB in the form of Lip-Biting in developmentally disabled individuals has been the focus of several related reports using different oral appliances preventing or inhibiting the SIB. In this paper we report a case of SIB in the form of Lip-Biting on an infant with Chiari Type II Malformation which was treated with a Lip-bumper. The Lip-bumper demonstrated to be a viable option in treating transient and acute episodes of SIB involving the lower lip and buccal mucosa.
