Facial Scanning and Additive Manufacturing Used in Production Nasal Prosthesis.

Maxillofacial prosthesis is an effective treatment for patients with facial sequelae, but it remains challenging for professionals due to its high esthetic complexity. This study describes a clinical case of successful nasal prosthetic rehabilitation using digital technology and additive manufacturing. Initially, the 76-year-old patient, with a facial defect in the nasal region, had her face scanned with 3-dimensional scanner for laboratory planning of the prototype of a nasal prosthesis.
