Abstract

Maxillofacial stents find their application in traumatic and post reconstructive surgical cases. A stent is a supplementary device used in conjunction with a surgical procedure to keep a skin graft in place. Various materials can be used in their fabrication such as acrylic resins, soft liners and modelling plastics. They can either be intraoral or extraoral, in the maxillofacial region they aid in stabilizing the deformity, prevents scar contracture, stops haemorrhage, and reduce the severity of maxillofacial defect by aiding in fabrication of a better fitting prosthesis. This paper displays the role and application auricular stent in maintaining auriculocephalic angle post-surgery.
