This is a retrospective study conducted on patients with microtia who underwent staged reconstruction for the same. This study has been carried out over a period of 10 years with 211 patients. Dental impression compound was used as a splint after ear elevation and split skin grafting to maintain the projection of the ear. Projection of the ear was measured both pre- and post-procedure and at every follow-up using goniometer and photographic documentation was simultaneously done. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test. Patients were reviewed every month and splint was continued until 6 months post-surgery. The splint was very effective in maintaining the ear projection of more than 20\u00b0 even after prolonged follow-up of upto 2 years. There were no complications associated with the splint application or prolonged use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-0358.121999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,22]],"date-time":"2013-11-22T12:28:31Z","timestamp":1385123311000},"page":"518-520","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Dental
