Summary:External ear anomalies can be caused by genetic or acquired disorders such as trauma or cancer. This flaw has a direct influence on the emotional, social, and psychological well-being of the afflicted. The flaws can be repaired in a number of methods, including prosthetic rehabilitation and surgical reconstruction. The two most challenging components of the treatment are preserving the ear projection during the first phases of auricle repair utilizing grafts and flaps, as well as avoiding the postauricular sulcus from re-epithelizing and obliterating the vestibule. Prosthodontists can address this issue by designing stents that retain the projection of a rebuilt auricle. This case study describes the production procedure as well as the method of retention for an ear stent.
