Abstract:
Skin overgrowth of auricular implant abutments can be a difficult and frustrating problem, leading to multiple procedures and delaying the placement of a definitive prosthesis. In the present patient, plastic rings or "washers" were employed to successfully deal with this problem. A discussion of the management of peri-implant soft tissues is presented.
