Abstract
- One of the most common uses of osseointegration has been to supply patients with craniofacial defects with a bone-anchored epitheses (BAE). BAEs are usually used in the craniofacial defects such as congenital external ear anomalies or facial defects after cancer surgeries or trauma. We report a case of a 26 year-old woman with traumatic auricular amputation due to a traffic accident 4 years ago and a case of 23 year-old man with congenital ear deformity. They took osseointegrated implantations for an auricular prosthesis and are using it without complications. BAEs can be used with good functional and esthetic outcome for artificial auricular reconstruction.
