Methyl methacrylate stent for prevention of postexcisional recurrent ear keloid.
Compared with other available treatment modalities that rely on active pressure over the excised region, this method of therapy works by confinement of the soft tissue to the internal dimensions of the stent. It minimizes the possibility of creating excessive force that could cause an unfavorable response such as inflammation or necrosis. One advantage of this design is that the stent can be used for the treatment of either an helix or earlobe keloid, while the button or clip devices cannot be used in the helix because of its wavelike configuration (Fig. 15).

Clip attachment for the mandibular staple implant.
A technique for making the staple implant superstructure has been described, which is simple, economically reasonable, and readily replaced with a minimum of difficulty. The procedure reduces both clinical and laboratory time compared with the use of precision attachments and ceramometal restorations. The size of the Rider clip generally allows sufficient space for the proper arrangement of denture teeth and the development of acceptable external contours of the prosthesis.
