ABSTRACT

Microtia is a congenital condition of unknown etiology that can occur associated with syndromes. Its frequency is greater in men and has a predilection for the right ear. Different treatment alternatives, both aesthetic and functional, have been proposed that reduce risks and increase the quality of life of patients. Among the most common treatments can be found the costochondral graft being a good alternative although greater risk of failure and the probability of several surgeries to get the best aesthetic result. Because of that one of the most used treatments is the placement of osseointegrated implants that can hold a prosthetic ear. Here is a case of a male patient who was rehabilitated with osseointegrated mastoid implants for ear reconstruction. Implant-supported prostheses significantly reduce the number of surgeries that must be performed and is a good option to maintain excellent hygiene as the prosthetic ear is removable, without compromising stability. The most common system is the same as those used in overdentures since the design of the transmucosal attachment fits perfectly to the thickness of epithelium in mastoid region.
