A laboratory silicone for preclinical training in ear prosthesis

This article describes an industrial elastic silicone as a material for the laboratory fabrication of ear prosthesis. It has been tested for toxicity in lab animals by the SGS India Pvt. Ltd and approved as a material to pass the parameter of abnormal toxicity. This material therefore can be safely recommended for laboratory exercise to fabricate facial prosthesis. The high cost of the maxillo facial silicone materials prohibits their use for facial prosthesis in pre-clinical training of post-graduate students in maxillofacial prosthodontics. For this reason, pre-clinical laboratory exercise in facial prosthesis is inadequate. A few institutions use polymethyl methacrylate resins which are rigid and do not have elastic characteristics of silicone, which is used for facial defects. This cost-effective industrial silicone material which mimics the elastic and color characteristics of the conventional silicones can be recommended for preclinical exercises.

“…Amongst the large number of materials that have been tried out in the history of Anaplastology as for example porcelain, natural rubber, gelatin and latex, two have established themselves: methacrylates and silicones 6. Long term success of a facial prosthesis depends mainly on retention 7. These prostheses are retained with different methods of retention such as medical adhesives, anatomical undercuts, and mechanical devices like spectacles, hair bands, magnets and implants 8.…”

Maxillofacial prosthodontics is an art and science which provides life like appearance to the person with facial deformity. Maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation for acquired defects has become more complex and sophisticated with advancement in techniques and materials. This case report describes the clinical and laboratory procedure for fabricating an auricular prosthesis for a patient with trauma related bilateral auricular deformity. Ear prosthesis was fabricated in two parts taking retention from external auditory canal.

“…Long‐term success of the prosthesis depends on accurate fit and retention . Conventionally, for partial auricular defects, ear remnants are removed, and an implant‐retained complete ear prosthesis is fabricated, or the missing ear is surgically reconstructed; however, if the patient is not ready to undergo surgery, this option is excluded.…”

Nonimplant, Nonadhesive Overlay Approach to Retain a Partial Auricular Prosthesis

Partial auricular prosthesis fabrication presents a more complex challenge than complete ear fabrication, with added aspects of merging/camouflaging a larger prosthetic marginal area, pattern try‐in, and compromised retention. Better alternatives are excision of the remnant ear to make an implant‐retained complete ear prosthesis or surgical reconstruction of the missing ear portion. Both need additional surgery/ies and expenses, neither of which may be acceptable to the patient. This report describes a prosthesis fabrication approach for such patients. This approach does not require implants or adhesives for retention. Issues of marginal camouflage and pattern trial were also addressed satisfactorily.
