Faster implant-supported ear and nose prostheses
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster way to place ear and nose prostheses using implants that can be loaded sooner. The prostheses are made at a distant lab, so you may need fewer trips to the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
