Selective-pressure impression technique for nasal prostheses.
An impression technique for nasal prostheses that places pressure in the superior regions of the nasolabial sulci is described. The pressure is delivered through a U-shaped frame embedded within the impression. Better adaptation and camouflage of the finished prosthesis is achieved and the improved esthetics enhances the confidence of the patient using a nasal prosthesis.
