Chamaria, Ankita; De Sousa, Reuben Fernando; Aras, Meena Ajay; Mascarenhas, Kennedy
- Abstract
Helical keloids are difficult to treat as surgical excision requires effective compression of the operative scar to prevent recurrence while retaining the contour and elasticity of the helix. The authors fabricated a conforming custom made post-operative splint from a commonly used dental material. Splints could be fabricated in both pre-operative and post-operative stage.
