Creating an adaptable anterior margin for an implant-retained auricular prosthesis.

Achieving complete adaptation of the anterior margin of an auricular prosthesis often presents a challenge. Conventional solutions to this problem address soft tissue movements at static positions and do not necessarily reflect how the margin will adapt throughout a complete range of motion of the mandible and head. A technique is presented for creating an adaptable margin for an auricular prosthesis throughout a complete range of motion. This technique can be applied once adaptation of the diagnostic wax margin to the master cast is successful.

Impression procedure for creating a partial auricular prosthesis.

Severe anatomic undercuts associated with tissue remnants or a defect site can often be an obstacle in achieving an accurate impression for a facial prosthesis. This article describes a procedure that overcomes the problems encountered in achieving an accurate impression. The distinct properties of 2 impression materials are applied to create a 3-piece impression that can be reassembled to develop an accurate stone master cast.
