Modified clinical and laboratory procedures for fabrication of nasal prostheses.
A modified procedure that aids in the fabrication of a nasal prosthesis has been described. This method offers several distinct advantages over traditional techniques. These are (1) use of the silicone putty impression material reduces sculpturing time, (2) the tinted wax allows improved patient acceptance of the wax model at the try-on, and (3) use of conditioning material at the try-on improves marginal adaptation.
