title: [Action of corticosteroids on cutaneous cicatrization. Use in maxillofacial surgery].
abstract: The effects of glucocorticoids on cutaneous cicatrisation are discussed. It is generally admitted that they have a delaying effect especially when applied locally. Their use in maxillo-facial surgery is limited: generally, they are used against oedema; locally, to check excessive fleshy growth and to treat cheloid scars.
