title: Anterior margin adaptation for implant-retained auricular prostheses.
abstract: Adaptation of the anterior margin of implant-retained auricular prostheses may be compromised during mandibular movement. Loss of contact between prostheses and underlying skin in an esthetic area is of great concern. This article describes an impression procedure that addresses the problem of anterior margin adaptation.
