“…Furthermore, there are difficulties, not only with primary surgery and soft tissue inflammation but also with possible secondary surgery for implant removal, which may cause serious complications. Early removal may be required in some cases to avoid long‐term complications 24 .…”

Rehabilitation with ear prosthesis linked to osseointegrated implantsBackground: The absence of an ear, which can be the result of a congenital malformation, surgical tumour resection or traumatic injury, is a significant aesthetic problem. Attachment of ear prostheses with adhesives can cause local irritation for the wearer and affect the colour of the prostheses. Use of implants in craniofacial reconstruction can improve the retention and stability of prostheses giving to patient greater comfort and security relative to adhesive attachment. Objective: The aim of this report was to present a clinical case of a mutilated patient who was rehabilitated by means of installing an ear prosthesis fixed through osseointegrated implants. Materials and methods: The patient had two implants installed in the mastoid region that were linked by a bar, and a clip-type system was used. The ear prosthesis was constructed from medical-use silicone, pigmented to match the patient's skin colour and linked to the retention system. Conclusion: The patient's rehabilitation was satisfactory from both a functional and an aesthetic point of view, making it possible for the patient to return to a normal social life and regain lost self-esteem.

“…Quando não há espessura para a colocação de 2 a 3 implantes de 4 a 5 mm, pode-se fazer uso do sistema de placa FarmandKAPLANSKI, 2001).Ganstrom et al (2001) apresentaram sua experiência com implantes osseointegráveis em crianças, tanto para próteses auriculares quanto para aparelhos de audição, concluindo que os implantes osseointegráveis podem ser utilizados em crianças com sucesso Tulasne (2001). afirma que além da qualidade de vida melhorada, as próteses faciais retidas por implantes são eficazes, funcionais e duráveis Gaggl et al (2004). concordam com a importância dos implantes para retenção de próteses auriculares, mas advertem para um bom planejamento para não haver conseqüências intracraniais.…”
