title: A hybrid-mold technique for fabricating facial prostheses.
abstract: A hybrid-mold technique is described for fabricating facial prostheses with delicate contours and/or undercuts that require additional support. This quick and simple technique combines several common laboratory materials and protects select areas of the stone mold during prosthesis fabrication. This technique also extends the mold's years of service and the number of prostheses that can be fabricated from the mold.
