    Citation Excerpt :

    Persons who use e-cigarette can inadvertently overheat the lithium ion battery, which results in explosion and fire due to the inherent flammability of the e-liquid.32 Recent case series have reported burns and traumatic injuries of the oral or maxillofacial region (from explosions during e-cigarette use) and the extremities (from spontaneous explosions while the devices were stored in pockets).33–38 Specific injuries to the oral cavity include intraoral burns, luxation injuries, and chipped and fractured teeth.34

This fact prompted us to discuss these articles.
