Creating effective prosthetic fingers involves precise treatment planning and skilled fabrication to restore aesthetic appearance and passive function. Successful outcomes depend significantly on retention and how closely the prosthesis mimics natural finger contours. We analyzed techniques for fabricating finger prostheses with palms and fingers in clinical rest position (CRP) versus palms and fingers extended (PFE) straight out. The aesthetics and function (passive) were also examined when fabricated in these two physiological conditions. We reviewed 20 articles from national and international journals over 20 years. Most literature focuses on extended posture fabrication, with few addressing CRP. This review article compares the CRP and PFE prosthetic finger fabrication approaches and explains how a prosthetic finger fabricated in a CRP offers superior aesthetic and partial functional outcomes and emerges as a promising alternative to the PFE. The potential impact of these findings on prosthodontics is significant, emphasizing the need for further research to validate these results and the ongoing development in the field.
