A combined digital technique to fabricate an implant-retained auricular prosthesis for rehabilitation of hemifacial microsomia.

Abstract	Implant-retained auricular prostheses provide an excellent treatment option with better retention and stability than a conventionally retained prosthesis. This article presents a technique for auricular reconstruction for a patient with misplaced implants. The scanning process combined the use of an intraoral scanner and a facial scanner to enhance accuracy in space management for different parts of the auricular prosthesis and to reduce sculpting time.
