| Abstract: | This article describes the use of SLS to produce a wax prototype for the fabrication of a partial nasal prosthesis. This technique may be an alternative to more conventional laboratory techniques for facial prosthesis fabrication and allows direct generation of definitive wax patterns. With the satisfying effect of nasal defect restoration, patients may be effectively rehabilitated and derive emotional and physical benefit from the treatment provided. |
