Maxillofacial orosthesis materials
A review
Keywords:
emotional pressure, facial disfigurement, cleft lip, accidental injuries, psychologicalAbstract
As the human face constitutes a center of attention in human relationships, the emotional pressure because of facial disfigurement can produce a high degree of handicap. These disfigurements can be congenital deformities such as cleft lip, cleft palate or acquired deformities such as accidental injuries. The rehabilitation needed is more because of patient’s psychological and emotional demands rather than their physical deficits. The purpose of this article is to give a piece of in-depth knowledge and discussed the various maxillofacial materials and their recent advances. Although the current clinical scenario concerning the field of a maxillofacial prosthesis is promising, improvement in material and techniques to be expected in the future to have better results.
