Continuous external compression in the form of elasticized garments is a well-accepted and substantiated form of management for postburn hypertrophic scarring. Children who have sustained deep partial thickness and/or full skin thickness burns to the face and head are frequently prescribed elasticized compressive face garments in the post-acute stage of their recovery. Recurrent concerns expressed by parents prompted investigation into the frequency of sleep disturbances, such as snoring subsequent to the application of face garments, and the possibility of changes to the developing dentition. This preliminary study utilized a single case design to demonstrate the effectiveness of a bimaxillary mouthguard in circumventing such problems.
以弹性服装形式进行的持续外部压迫是一种被广泛接受且有充分依据的烧伤后增生性瘢痕管理方法。面部和头部遭受深二度和/或全层皮肤烧伤的儿童在恢复的急性期后经常被开出处方使用弹性压迫面罩。家长反复表达的担忧促使人们对睡眠障碍的发生率进行调查，例如佩戴面罩后打鼾，以及对正在发育的牙列产生变化的可能性。这项初步研究采用单病例设计来证明双颌护齿器在规避此类问题方面的有效性。
