The ear molds and shells of hearing devices are generally designed using impressions. Computed tomography (CT) can provide information concerning structure, which be utilized in computer-aided design to create devices. This study aimed compare the differences either impressions or CT images. chip a cartilage conduction (CC) device was based on impression images patients with aural atresia. Thre...

INTRODUCTION The hallmark of vitiligo is the disappearance of melanocytes from the skin due to an as yet unidentified mechanism.
