title: Improved edge strength in a facial prosthesis by incorporation of tulle: a clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes the use of tulle for increasing the tear resistance of a facial prosthesis. By incorporating tulle, a prosthesis' margins may be more stable, more resistant to tearing, and less likely to deform while adhesive, cosmetics, and cleaning agents are applied and removed.
