Objectives: The aim of this case report is to describe the rehabilitation of a patient with partial finger amputation using a self-retaining silicone prosthesis by the vacuum method.
Case Report: A 42-year-old female patient with a partial deficiency of one finger presented with the need for prosthesis. After the anamnesis, she stated that she wanted a prosthesis because she was visually uncomfortable and had problems in her social life. After the necessary planning and preparation phase, measurements were taken by conventional methods and a silicone prosthesis was prepared. It was adapted to the patient's missing finger.
Conclusion: This case report evaluating feedback with a silicone finger prosthesis found that it improved the patient's quality of life and psychosocial adjustment. Although the effect was limited in terms of function, satisfactory results were obtained in terms of aesthetic appearance.

Amaç: Bu vaka raporunun amacı tek parmağında kısmi eksiklik bulunan hastanın, vakum yöntemiyle kendinden retansiyonlu bir silikon protez ile rehabilitasyonunu anlatmaktır.
Olgu sunumu: Tek parmağında kısmi eksiklik bulunan 42 yaşında bayan hasta protez gereksinimi ile başvurdu. Alınan anamnez sonrası özellikle görsel olarak rahatsız olduğunu sosyal hayatında sıkıntı çektiği için protez istediğini belirtti. Gerekli planlama ve hazırlık aşamasından sonra konvansiyonel yöntemlerle ölçü alındı ve silikon protez hazırlandı. Hastanın eksik parmağına adapte edildi.
Sonuç: Silikon parmak protezi ile geri bildirimin değerlendirildiği bu olgu sunumunda, hastanın yaşam kalitesi ve psikososyal uyumunu iyileştirdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Fonksiyon açısından kısıtlı etkisi olsa da estetik görünüm açısından tatmin edici sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
