Purpose: The concept of "prosthesis-guided implantation" has been widely accepted for intraoral implant placement,while it is not fully appreciated by clinicians for facial defect restoration.In this clinical report,we utilized multiple digital technologies to achieve facial defect restoration by prosthesis-guided implantation.Methods: A simulation surgery was performed to remove the residual auricular tissue,and ensured the correct position of the mirrored contralateral ear model.The combined application of computed tomography and 3-dimensional photography reserved the position of the mirrored model,which was evolved into the definitive implant-retained auricular prosthesis.
