Abstract:
Patients considering the use of implant-retained craniofacial prostheses are faced with a large body of new information. This article describes the fabrication of a 3-dimensional teaching aid that helps educate such patients about the role of osseointegration in prosthetic treatment. The model illustrates the stages of auricular prosthesis fabrication and can be used to demonstrate proper prosthesis hygiene.
