Abstract

The rehabilitation of a patient with facial defects is a challenging task. An alternative to surgical reconstruction is the creation of a silicone auricular prosthesis. The replacement of anatomical parts is an art and science. These prostheses provide a cost-effective and an acceptable means of camouflage for patients who are disinclined to surgical reconstruction. The process of creating a silicone auricular prosthesis is discussed in this article.

Keywords:
