Implant retained auricular prosthesis with a modified hader bar: a case report.

摘要: Auricular prostheses for defects of external ear are retained either by mechanical means or implants. All implant various such as bar and clip, magnetic attachments a combination bar, clip magnets. The commonest problem encountered with the system is loosening after 3–4 months. When magnets used retaining component they tend to corrode over period time. So alternative retention methods which possess good retentive qualities, ease reparability patient friendly were tried. In present case newly modified Hader design can act an additional feature apart from employed increase retention. major advantages in that only two implants employed, loops prevented micro movements acrylic locks easy repair if broken. has anti-rotational slots prevents sliding rotation prosthesis gave new confidence who was otherwise worried inadvertent displacement while playing.
