Abstract


Amputation, particularly traumatic finger loss, can have profound physical and psychological consequences, often resulting in diminished self-esteem and social withdrawal. Prosthetic rehabilitation serves as a vital option for restoring esthetics and partial functionality. This case report presents the successful fabrication of finger prosthesis for a 45-year-old male who had lost his middle finger due to trauma. The integration of nanotechnology enhanced both biocompatibility and esthetics. This case underscores the potential of combining conventional prosthodontic techniques with nanomaterials to achieve durable, hygienic, and visually realistic prostheses, ultimately improving the quality of life for amputee patients. Patient education and careful treatment planning were key to the rehabilitation’s success.
