Auricular reconstruction is a challenging issue. It can either be performed surgically or by the use of prosthesis. Definitive auricular prosthesis can be retained by craniofacial implants. Temporary (interim) prosthesis can be retained using adhesives, engaging anatomical undercuts and using mechanical means of retention-like spectacles. This case report proposes a new mechanical means of retention for a temporary auricular prosthesis, which can be suitable for non-eyeglass wearing females or for female patients who refuse to wear eyeglass for retaining their prosthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
