Abstract

Objective: This study compares two types of implants- a Teflon piston and a titanium piston, used in stapes surgery for otosclerosis. 
Study Design: A non-randomised prospective study conducted on 40 patients, in 2 groups of 20 each, undergoing stapedotomy in a tertiary care hospital. Pure tone audiometry results were noted preoperatively and 3 weeks post-operatively.
Results: Both Teflon and titanium prostheses provided almost equal benefits to patients in terms of Air-Bone gap closure.
Conclusion: While there is statistically no significant difference in the results observed, surgical skill of the operating surgeon plays an important role in hearing improvement and long-term results would require long term evaluation.
