Abstract

A technique for evaluating the acrylic resin core before processing a silicone facial prosthesis is described. The technique involves the use of either irreversible hydrocolloid impression material or silicone to identify thin areas in the pattern. This simple yet effective procedure ensures adequate thickness and strength of the silicone prosthesis, which in turn decreases the amount of chair and laboratory time needed at the delivery appointment.
