ABSTRACT
Helical keloids are difficult to treat as surgical excision requires effective compression
of the operative scar to prevent recurrence while retaining the contour and elasticity
of the helix. The authors fabricated a conforming custom made post-operative splint
from a commonly used dental material. Splints could be fabricated in both pre-operative
and post-operative stage.
