Abstract:
The fully digital workflow for an immediate implant-retained auricular prosthesis procedure included computer-aided treatment planning, flapless surgery, and the prefabricated auricular prosthesis rehabilitation. This technique also encompassed the presurgery fabrication of the substructure of the implants and the definitive auricular prosthesis to ensure the smooth insertion of the ear prosthesis.
