Placement of enosseous implants in the temporal bone may overcome the apparent disadvantages of skin adhesives and skinpockets for the fixation of auricular prostheses. The surgical procedure for placement of implants in the temporal bone and the results obtained in eight patients wearing implant-supported auricular prostheses are described. From the results of this study, it is obvious that osseointegrated implants have great advantages compared with skin adhesives and skinpockets to rehabilitate patients suffering from auricular defects. The major achievement of implant-supported auricular prostheses is the patients' increased comfort and confidence wearing these types of prostheses.
