The absence of any organ of the facial region causes an asymmetrical appearance. This asymmetrical appearance can cause social dilemmas for the patient. The maxillofacial technician, the prosthodontist, and the patient must work closely together to fabricate an epithesis. On the implants, a superstructure is first constructed. Most of it is made up of rings and a bar that joins the implants. The firm acrylic resin base of the epithesis is equipped with clips that serve as the epithesis's retention mechanism. The actual epithesis is made of silicone rubber. The epithesis has to be shaped and colored with extreme caution. An appropriate substitute is an auricular prosthesis that is implant-retained. Microtia, deformity, malformation, and loss of the external ear, either partially or completely, can result from a variety of inherited genetic conditions. To evaluate the symmetry of both ears, artificial intelligence (AI) software is used. An Instagram lens Gridset by crystalwavesxx was used to correct and verify the bilateral symmetry of the patient. This case report primarily focuses on the fabrication of implant-supported auricular prostheses using AI.
面部区域任何器官的缺失都会导致外观不对称。这种不对称外观会给患者带来社交困境。颌面技术人员、口腔修复医生和患者必须密切合作来制作赝复体。在种植体上,首先构建一个上部结构。它大部分由环和连接种植体的杆组成。赝复体坚固的丙烯酸树脂基底配备有夹子,作为赝复体的固位装置。实际的赝复体由硅橡胶制成。赝复体的塑形和上色必须极其谨慎。一种合适的替代物是通过种植体固位的耳廓假体。小耳症、畸形、发育不全以及部分或完全的外耳缺失,可能由多种遗传状况导致。为了评估双耳的对称性,使用了人工智能(AI)软件。由crystalwavesxx制作的Instagram镜头网格集被用于校正和验证患者的双侧对称性。本病例报告主要关注使用AI制作种植体支持的耳廓假体。
