Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Congenital and acquired defects of the face create an unfortunate condition for the affected individual. To lead a comfortable life patient requires facial rehabilitation. To perform rehabilitation of such patients, reassessment of materials used in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis seems desirable. Maxillofacial material should best suit the ideal selection criteria to satisfy the functionality, biocompatibility, aesthetics as well as the durability. While the new materials have exhibited many desirable properties they have also exhibited some frustrating deficiencies. This article presents a systemic review of the materials used for maxillofacial prosthesis.
