Abstract
In the past, various materials have been applied to the zygomatic region to serve as a protective splint during the healing phase. Traditionally, these have been bulky, cumbersome, and non-conforming. This technique involves the application of a precut thermoplastic splint that is site-specific, lightweight, adjustable, low profile and universal and adapts to the anatomy of each patient.
