“…This three‐plane extension greatly increased prosthesis retention. Stent materials commonly reported in the literature are impression compound for interim use and acrylic and silicone materials for definitive use 10–14 . In the present case, due to patient request, two prostheses were fabricated.…”

Repairs of the cleft nose, lip, and palatal deformity remain challenging endeavors for reconstructive surgeons. Postsurgical nasomaxillary hypoplasia is a common finding in patients with extensive clefts. This complex deformity has a pronounced impact on the social behavior and self image of the subject. Esthetic and functional rehabilitation of this postsurgical defect is scarcely reported in the literature. Support in the form of prostheses or stents to prevent tissue collapse is usually required in these patients following surgery. This clinical case presentation discusses the fabrication of an internal nasal stent for a cleft nose, lip, and palate patient following surgical reconstruction. Two prostheses using two prosthetic materials (Polymethyl methacrylate, flexible resin) were prepared to compare their efficacy. The final prostheses improved the patient's appearance, making the postsurgical defect less conspicuous.

“…The defects were secondary to the treatment of NK cell type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which has a very high recurrence rate. [2] Prostheses could be made in acrylic[1516] or in silico ne and spectacle could be used for retention. Silicone has life-like appearance.…”

Debridement of affected parts in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma leads to large mid facial defects leading to poor quality of life due to cosmetic disfigurement and various functional comorbidities. Therefore, a surgeon should refer the patients to a prosthodontist for replacement of lost tissues to improve their function and esthetics. Two cases have been presented here with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma having large, continuous defects involving nose, cheeks, and maxilla. Retaining large facial prosthesis and intraoral obturator was a challenge as supporting hard and soft tissues were less. Two-piece lightweight prostheses were fabricated and retained with the use of very economical titch buttons used (used in clothes) in case 1 due to financial constraints and slightly expensive iron boron neodymium magnets in case 2. Functional and esthetic rehabilitation was successfully achieved with intraoral and facial prostheses attached to each other.

“…The face is the specification of the human body for each person, 1 and those who lose a part of their face, such as a nose, eye or ear, by illness or by accident will experience numerous difficulties. With regards to this, it has been shown that it is important for patients to return to activities of daily living as quickly as possible.…”

Background and Aim: Partial ear amputations are one of the forms of ear loss. A user-friendly design of prosthesis with safe suspension and an aesthetic appearance can be helpful to a patient who has lost part of their ear due to congenital absence or trauma. Prosthetic use has social and psychological effects on the patient and their family. The aim of this paper is to describe a technique of ear prosthesis fabrication with self suspension for these patients. Technique: To provide a snugly fitting prosthesis, the only parts of the residual ear that were covered by the prosthesis were accurately manufactured and reduced in thickness to 0.5-1 mm and 10 mm in width, so that the silicone extended over the stumps to provide adequate suspension. Discussion: This paper proposes the designing and constructing of a silicone ear prosthesis which had good suspension, low cost, was easy to use and was acceptable in appearance to the patient. Clinical relevanceResidual ears are currently removed through surgery to implant placement ears in individuals who have lost part of their ear, but evidence suggests that patients do not like this method. This paper highlights the importance of providing an alternative intervention using an ear prosthesis with self-suspension for such patients.
