The goal is to create a silicone auricular prosthetic for a unilateral auricular defect that completely matches the healthy contralateral ear.
Background: Facial structure loss, whether congenital or acquired, has a substantial negative impact on a person's life. In prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with unilateral auricular dysfunction, replicating the intricate anatomy of an auricle while resembling the contralateral ear is a difficult task.
Description of the situation: This case report describes an innovative, accurate, and simple procedure for producing the wax pattern of the auricular prosthesis that has yet to be documented in the literature. The main drawback is that while merging the borders of wax slices with a heated spatula, some anatomic details are lost, necessitating finer adjustments by small carving and finishing of the wax design.
Conclusion: Without the use of expensive technology, this case report offers a technique for duplicating the anatomy of the auricle in everyday clinical practise.Author (S) Details
