    A novel impression technique using a U-shaped frame improves nasal prosthesis fit and appearance. This method enhances patient confidence through better adaptation and camouflage of the final prosthesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Maxillofacial prosthodontics
    • Dental materials science

    Background:

    • Nasal prostheses are crucial for restoring facial aesthetics and function after ablative surgery.
    • Achieving optimal adaptation and camouflage of nasal prostheses can be challenging with conventional impression techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new impression technique for nasal prostheses.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in improving prosthesis adaptation, camouflage, and patient satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • A U-shaped frame was incorporated into the impression material.
    • Pressure was applied to the superior regions of the nasolabial sulci during impression taking.
    • The resulting prostheses were evaluated for adaptation and aesthetic outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The technique facilitated superior adaptation of the nasal prosthesis.
    • Improved camouflage and overall aesthetics of the finished prosthesis were observed.
    • Enhanced patient confidence was reported due to improved esthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • This U-shaped frame impression technique offers a viable method for improving nasal prosthesis outcomes.
    • The technique enhances both the functional adaptation and the aesthetic appearance of nasal prostheses.
    • Improved patient confidence is a significant benefit of this enhanced prosthetic rehabilitation.
