    Area of Science:

    • Oral surgery
    • Burn reconstruction
    • Medical device technology

    Background:

    • Severe burns affecting the perioral tissues present significant challenges.
    • Scar contracture can lead to microstomia, impairing oral function.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the complications associated with perioral burn scarring.
    • To review existing stent types used for preventing microstomia post-burn.
    • To provide insights into the efficacy of different stent designs.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of burn scar management techniques.
    • Analysis of seven distinct stent designs for microstomia prevention.
    • Discussion of clinical applications and considerations for stent use.

    Main Results:

    • Identified key challenges in managing perioral burn scars.
    • Cataloged and described seven types of stents employed for microstomia.
    • Highlighted the role of stents in maintaining oral aperture.

    Conclusions:

    • Perioral burn scarring poses a risk of microstomia.
    • Stent therapy is a vital component in managing and preventing microstomia.
    • Further research into optimal stent design and application is warranted.
