Abstract

Auricular defects may be congenitally or occur secondary to trauma or surgical removal of a neoplasm. Treatment options for the reconstruction of the ear may include either plastic surgery or provision of an auricular prosthesis. The requirements of prosthesis are esthetics, retention and stability, alignment and positioning, biocompatibility, and longevity. In the present study, 2 patients (a partial and a total auricular defects) were rehabilitated with epistheses that were constructed on endosteal titanium implants of the ITI system with magnetive anchors in mastoid process. The success of both 2 epithesis compared in terms of function, aesthetics and psychological activity.
