چکیده

The use of craniofacial implants to assist in retaining auricular prostheses often requires complex laboratory procedures, involving production of an accurate casting, fitting of a precious alloy bar, and the use of clips. A simplified method for the retention of an auricular prosthesis with a composite bar and magnets is described in this article.
