A novel technique improves auricular prosthesis retention using a Fish-bone shaped substructure (FSS) embedded in silicone. This method enhances durability and adaptation for patients with ear disfigurement.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Auricular prostheses are needed for congenital abnormalities, malignancy, or trauma causing pinna disfigurement.
  • The absence of the pinna significantly impacts facial appearance and patient well-being.
  • Traditional prostheses often suffer from poor structural strength, retention, adaptation, and durability.

Observation:

  • A new technique involves embedding a Fish-bone shaped substructure (FSS) into a silicone auricular prosthesis.
  • The FSS is fabricated from orthodontic wire and autopolymerizing acrylic resin.
  • This substructure is integrated within the silicone elastomer of the prosthesis.

Findings:

  • The embedded FSS enhances the structural integrity of the silicone auricular prosthesis.
