auricular appliance. Restoring defect part of the ear.
Improving esthetic of the patient. METHODS:
Impression taking and making of the working cast.
Sculpture of the wax pattern. Try-in step for the wax
pattern. Enveloped auricular prosthesis made from
maxillofacial silicon elastomers. Delivery of the
prosthesis to the patient. CONCLUSIONS: To make
maxillofacial prosthesis, the shape, volume, position,
texture and transparency of the patient's features tried to
be respected. One of the greatest challenges faced is to
reproduce the patient's exact skin color and provide
adequate esthetics
