Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Craniofacial reconstruction

Background:

  • Auricular defects arise from tumor resection, congenital issues, or trauma.
  • Current prosthetic retention relies on skin adhesives, which have significant drawbacks.
  • Adhesive limitations include poor retention, skin irritation, and complications with hair and moisture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the concept and principles of maxillofacial implants for auricular restoration.
  • To review the history, advantages, and disadvantages of implant-supported auricular prostheses.
  • To outline treatment planning and phases for implant-supported ear prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on maxillofacial implants and auricular prostheses.
