To date, reconstructive efforts have been limited to using autogenous tissues to reconstruct ears, noses, etc. These methods are frequently unsuccessful in burn victims. However, typically the facial bony skeleton is uninvolved in the original burn injury and can provide an excellent platform for osseointegrated implants. Children from around the world will participate in this study conducted at Shriner s Hospital for Children in Los Angeles, California.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial">Our mission is to continue to promote the art and science of maxillofacial rehabilitation throughout the world.

Funds were donated to establish an outreach clinic in this hospital to care for the rehabilitation needs of these patients.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial">Under the guidance of recent ISMR President, Professor Giulio Preti, the faculty of the University of Turin (many who are ISMR members) will donate their time and provide the necessary services. Over time, appropriate dentists in the Puglia region will be recruited and trained to provide simple and straightforward care. ISMR doctors will assist with the triage of patients and prepare them for a team of specialists from Turin. Our team will be led by Dr. Gianfranco Gassino and will provide the necessary care on a periodic basis.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">The hospital has a dental clinic but is lacking necessary maxillofacial specialty supplies and equipment.
