“…Хирургическая реконструкция и пластика отсутствующей ушной раковины не всегда успешна и сопряжена с развитием осложнений [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Альтернативным решением этой проблемы является протетическая реконструкция с помощью силиконовых эктопротезов (эпитезов) [12,13], которые, как правило, фиксируют на экстраоральные имплантаты, установленные в височную кость по месту отсутствующей естественной ушной раковины [14,15].…”

Relevance. Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the missing outer ear is not always successful and may cause complications. Prosthetic reconstruction using silicone ectoprostheses (epitheses) is an alternative solution to this problem. Purpose – the study aimed to verify clinical and microbiological protocol of prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with a missing auricle using temporary silicone epitheses during implant osseointegration placed for the final magnet-bar retention system and assessment of the prosthetic reconstruction effe ctiveness.Materials and methods. The study compared and analyzed the quality of life and microbial colonization of the skin biotope in the main group patients – with temporary silicone auricle epithesis during extraoral implant osseointegration and in the control group without such prostheses. Quality of life was assessed before and after treatment using the automated questionnaires (WHOQOL-BREF and QL PAER) developed by us for mobile devices. We determined the quantitative and qualitative composition of the skin microbiota behind the ear in all patients with fixed silicone samples for seven days.Results. According to all domains of the "WHOQOL-BREF" and "QL PAER" questionnaires, an integral index of QLI (p < 0.05) was reliably higher after prosthesis fixation in the main group. Skin biotope colonization by strains of resident microorganisms in the region of Technovent silicone epithesis increased if B-460 glue was applied, and the water-soluble G609 glue did not have a similar effect.Conclusion. A digital protocol for the manufacture of a temporary silicone epithesis of the auricle for the period of extraoral implant osseointegration, with the fixation on a water-soluble glue, improves the quality of life of patients with anotia and minimizes microbial colonization of the biotope of t he skin behind the ear.

BACKGROUND: Despite numerous studies on the quality of life of patients with dental issues, no specific questionnaire is available for patients with total loss of teeth. AIM: This study aimed to establish the level of validation and automation effectiveness of the OHIP-20 DG questionnaire for assessing life quality satisfaction of patients who received fully removable plate prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The questionnaire was validated by analyzing the psychometric parameters of 50 patients based on the results of the questionnaire survey (17 women, 33 men; aged 4287 years). RESULTS: The reliability (self-consistency) of the OHIP-20 DG questionnaire was adequate based on the following values: Cronbachs alpha coefficient, 0.780.81; individual functional scales, 0.660.73; convergent validity, 0.1290.503; divergent validity, 0.00040.504; and discrimination, 0.400.89. The scaling success rate of symptomatic subscales ranged from 91.67% to 100%. CONCLUSION: The OHIP-20 questionnaire is suitable as a measuring tool for assessing the life quality satisfaction of patients who received fully removable plate prostheses. The OHIP-20-DG application for mobile devices reduces the amount of routine operations in collecting data and processing examination results; thus, it can be recommended for clinical work in dental prosthetics.
