Resumo: Traumatic oral lesions are common in patients of intensive care units (ICU), and dentists play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. A 27-year-old female presenting acromegaly and a pituitary tumor was admitted to an ICU due to diabetic ketoacidosis. She remained two months in the ICU, with orotracheal intubation and subsequent tracheostomy, receiving palliative care until death. An extensive traumatic lesion on the right margin of the tongue and ulcers on the lower lip were observed after 9 days of hospitalization. The tongue lesion was caused by continuous involuntary biting and the ulcers on the lower lip caused by trauma of the orotracheal tube. Lesions were treated with photobiomodulation and a protective acrylic appliance to reduce repetitive self-injury, with a significant improvement after 40 days. The participation of dentists in the multiprofessional team supports comprehensive health care for patients in ICU, even in the end-of-life care.
