Silicone nasal prosthesis retained by an intranasal stent: a clinical report

Reiyal Goveas et al. J Prosthet Dent. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Nasal defects after tumor excision can leave a patient functionally and esthetically impaired. Loss of nasal septal cartilage support causes the soft tissue to collapse or undergo stenosis, further compounding the problem. Intranasal stents can be used to maintain the patency of such nasal defects. This clinical report describes the use of an acrylic resin nasal stent bonded to a silicone nasal prosthesis to rehabilitate a patient with a nasal defect.
