Some of the ways in which the maxillofacial prosthetist can assist in the treatment of burn patients have been presented. The three areas described and illustrated by means of a case report, include the fabrication of study models, graft support and pressure splints, and extraoral prostheses. Study models can serve as aids to diagnosis and treatment planning, as teaching aids, and as models for stent and splint fabrication. Models of the face and neck and of the hands were required for the patient whose treatment was reported. A new type of acrylic resin splint for maintaining head and neck extension following split-thickness grafting procedures also was fabricated for the patient. The splint, constructed of cold-curing acrylic resin tray material and lined with silicone rubber and foam, can be quickly made and custom fitted for the patient. A second splint applied pressure to flatten and smooth hypertrophic scars. When the ears are burned, their replacement with prostheses early in the recovery of the patient will make for a more nearly normal facial appearance, even when plastic reconstruction is anticipated at a later time. Prosthetic ears are readily fabricated in the dental laboratory. The recovery of a burn patient is long and difficult. Assistance by the maxillofacial prosthetist helps to make their recovery more assured.
