ABSTRACT
An expanding oral plastic splint for preventing microstomia from deep facial burns is described. This splint adjusts to suit the affected oral angles without the need for taking any impression before fabrication. It is especially suitable for severely injured patients starting from the early period shortly after injury, even if the patient has been intubated. Furthermore the expansion forces can be controlled easily according to the degree of contracture.
