Defects in the facial region can be treated by maxillofacial prostheses however, fabrication of the prosthesis is a time-consuming process. The short lifetime of silicone material due to inherent deterioration has stimulated a search for more practical methods. This case report involves a semi-digital workflow for replacement of an ear prosthesis. The existing contralateral intact ear and retentive bar of the existing prosthesis were scanned using an intraoral scanner. Resin models of the bar and the mirror image of the ear were fabricated using a 3D printer and wax replicas were obtained using silicone impression material. This method was successful, time-saving, and comfortable for the clinician and patient. |
