title: Impression materials for removal of aural foreign bodies.
abstract: A new method for removal of aural foreign bodies is introduced, employing the injection of a semifluid impression material into the external auditory canal, and its removal after curing with the engulfed foreign matter. This technique obviated the need for a general anesthetic in some pediatric cases, while in others it was just a more pleasant experience.
