Modified microstomia prevention splint.
The modified microstomia prevention splint (MMPS) was designed to overcome burn microstomia which could not be treated by the use of conventional microstomia prevention appliances. In addition, further modifications eliminated problems of pressure on the oral mucosa. The MMPS is now the preferred splint at the Royal Brisbane Hospital Burns Unit.
