The current study relates to the immobilization of the nasal region with splints using modern materials such as thermoplastic compounds in patients that have undergone rhinoplasty. The objectives of the research are to highlight the main characteristics of thermoplastic splints and to perform a comparative analysis in relation with traditional splints. The research was conducted on 2 batches, the first batch involving 24 patients that have undergone rhinoplasty, the postoperative immobilization being performed using metallic splints and the second batch involving 29 patients, thermoplastic splints being used for immobilization after the surgery. The results of the study are focused on evaluating both thermoplastic and traditional splints based on several criteria, such as modeling capacity, toxicity, surgical risks and patients� degree of satisfaction.
