A novel design for prosthetic ear guiding device: A technical note - 18/11/23
Abstract |
This article describes a newly designed Prosthetic Auricular Guide (PAG) that allows for accurate planning and positioning of both the auricular implants and the prosthetic auricle. The design aims to provide a cost-effective guiding device for more esthetic ear prostheses which is the patient's main concern. Along with determining the best clinically accepted position of the ear, the device can be used while taking CBCT which allows for the integration of the clinically approved position with the remaining bone for accurate planning of implant positions. Furthermore, the device can be fixed during surgery for accurate transmission of the planned position. The device is also adjustable making it suitable for all patterns of auricular defects, different ages, and even for patients with asymmetric faces.
