RESUMO
Maxillofacial prosthesis is an effective treatment for patients with facial sequelae, but it remains challenging for professionals due to its high esthetic complexity. This study describes a clinical case of successful nasal prosthetic rehabilitation using digital technology and additive manufacturing. Initially, the 76-year-old patient, with a facial defect in the nasal region, had her face scanned with 3-dimensional scanner for laboratory planning of the prototype of a nasal prosthesis. After approving the prototype image, working models in muffle shape were obtained in additive manufacture for the inclusion of the prosthesis. In the final session, the prosthesis was colored extrinsically and installed. The procedures digital in the manufacture of the facial prosthesis was applicable and agile, allowing the professional greater predictability regarding the shape of the rehabilitated organ, esthetic improvement in the mutilated area and patient satisfaction in relation to the speed, of the procedure and the quality of the prosthesis.
