Framework night guards for implant-retained auricular prostheses. 1989

Prosthetic ear rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants involves using a cast or preformed framework (bar) constructed to fit the implant abutments. Retention of the prosthesis is obtained through clips or magnets. Because the prosthetic ear is not worn during sleep, the ends of the retention bar are left exposed. These projections may become entangled with the linen or hair. To prevent this problem a night guard constructed of soft mouth-guard material is worn over the retentive bar while the patient is sleeping.

D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
