Abstract

The effect of scars in orofacial region can greatly affect the aesthetics and functions. Scar formation in the Oro-facial region can also be associated with the surgical management of an oral cancer. Silicone gel sheeting has been widely used in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids. This is a case report of a 62 years old male German citizen with a histopathologically confirmed Squamous cell carcinoma in right side of the lower lip being treated with a commercially available topical silicone gel elastomers (Dermatix®) and having complete scar reduction within two weeks duration.
