Etchants are commonly used in day to day dental practice. It finds range of applications from restorative dentistry to orthodontics. Though the adverse effects of etchants on dental hard tissues and pulp have been reported but soft tissue injuries have been rarely reported.In restorative dentistry rubber dam application prevents any chances of mucosal damage due to accidental contact with this chemical agent. This paper reports a chemical burn occurred during an orthodontic procedure. It highlights the rare instance of chemical burn due to phosphoric acid etchant; it also provides a detailed treatment protocol and follow-up of such rare injury.
