The purpose of this article is to illustrate the fabrication process of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) prosthesis. Growth of alveolar ridges, lips, and nose is initiated and directed by PNAM prosthesis at the presurgical time. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding helps reduce the future complications of lip and nasal surgery. Because of use of this appliance, there are minimum tension and minimum scar formation due to repair of soft tissue and cartilaginous deformity.
