Comparison of two impression techniques for auricular prosthesis: Pilot study
Kasim Mohamed, MDS, et al.
This article highlights the efficacy of a new impression
technique, the triple-layer impression technique
(TLIT), which plays a vital role in fabricating
a cosmetic silicone auricular prosthesis for unilateral
auricular defects. The TLIT reduces the distortion of
the ear in impressions. The models were more accurate
when compared with the conventional impression
technique described in the literature. Thus,
TLIT will help the maxillofacial prosthetist achieve
better orientation of unilateral ear prostheses.
