Present And Future Of Maxillofacial Prosthetic Materials.

Abstract

Maxillofacial rehabilitation is one of the most challenging aspects of treatment of a facial or associated structures defect. The field of maxillofacial rehabilitations is fast growing and so are the materials and techniques. It is most essential to be informed with the past present and future of the materials and modalities of the maxillofacial rehabilitation so as to choose and provide with the best available option for a particular rehabilitation. The search of an ideal material has made us travel from the wood and ivory from ancient times to silicones and much newer materials but still a material which fulfills all the requirements of being an ideal material has not been found. This review is aimed to upgrade the knowledge and understanding of the various materials available in present and are like to be developed in future for maxillofacial rehabilitation.
