چکیده
The use of Osseo integrated implants to retain auricular prosthesis was first attempted in 1979. It followed the introduction of the use of end osseous implants in bone conduction hearing aids in the 1970s. Since then it has grown in popularity and many papers have reported its success. Some of its advantages are to provide more stability and better retention compared to adhesive, giving patients a stronger sense of confidence. Aesthetically, it also gives a better result as it allows a finer feathered margin.
