Abstract
Loss of facial organs in an individual may be developmental anomalies or acquired. The missing parts of the face ear, eyes and nose are considered as maxillofacial defects which can be rehabilitated by the prosthesis and/or cosmetic surgeries. This art of science has developed into a more reliable and predictable process due to ever increasing development of materials and equipments used in the procedure. This article describes a simple technique to rehabilitate patients with auricular defects which are both aesthetically acceptable and economical for the individual.Entities:
