Simultaneous reconstruction after removal of nasal silicone implants was published as diced, autologous rib and ear auricular cartilages, and each had their shortcomings. Temporoparietal fascial grafts were used for facial and nasal contouring, vascularized tissue coverage, and augmentation the nose, lip. The temporoparietal fascia graft may be considered for in-time replacement of allografts and remaining bulkiness.

Attaining the appropriate relation of the denture base with the tissues for optimum retention and support poses various challenges. Retention and support of a prosthesis depend on capturing mucosa and limiting structures in undistorted form. The impression in the geriatric population and patients with maxillary and mandibular defects poses a challenge for prosthodontists.

Article Synopsis
  • - Congenital microtia impacts both the appearance and hearing in patients, particularly those with bilateral microtia, but a combined approach of auricular reconstruction and bone bridge implantation has shown positive results.
  • - A study of 84 patients treated between January 2017 and December 2020 noted a low complication rate with only 3.6% experiencing bone bridge exposure, which was effectively repaired using a superficial temporal island flap.
  • - The findings suggest that auricular reconstruction with bone bridge implantation is a viable option for bilateral microtia, offering low implant exposure rates and effective repair techniques that minimize scarring.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on a new surgical technique for correcting "flat ear," a subtype of microtia characterized by underdeveloped ear structures, using autologous ear cartilage instead of traditional costal cartilage to reduce surgery risks.
  • Involving 19 patients with an average age of 10.67 years, the results showed significant improvements in ear dimensions and a restoration of conchal bowl depth, demonstrating the effectiveness of the new technique.
  • Patient satisfaction scores increased dramatically post-surgery, indicating the technique not only improves ear appearance but also enhances overall patient contentment, offering a less invasive treatment option for auricular deformities.
