Splinting electrical burns of the mouth in children.
A mouth splint has been designed tp be worn through the healing period of an electrical burn of the mouth. The splint is custom-fitted for each child, and it is easily removed. Six children have been so treated and followed up for 4 years. The results to date have been excellent in preventing microstomia.
