PURPOSE This study aimed to review the current state of the techniques and materials used to rehabilitate maxillofacial defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for articles pertinent to maxillofacial prostheses published from January 1990 to July 2011. The main clinical stages were the subject of analysis. RESULTS A multidisciplinary approach is preferr...

Maxillofacial defects create physical, emotional and mental problems for the patient. The task of surgical-prosthetic rehabilitation is to provide best possible functional esthetic solution. aim this paper was present a modern approach auricular defect rehabilitation. A 24-year-old patient with lack right ear lobe due trauma admited aesthetic Implant-retained prosthesis indicated. Three implant...

Silicone implants are widely used in the medical field for plastic or reconstructive surgeries purpose of soft tissue issues. However, as with any implanted object, healthcare-associated infections not completely avoidable. The material suffers from a lack biocompatibility and is often subject to bacterial/microbial characterized by biofilm growth. Numerous strategies have been developed either...

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla and orbit are involved, surgical resection debridement of necrosed areas can result in extensive defects .in prosthetic rehabilitation such cases major challenge replacement misssing soft hard tissues following resection. Hence acceptable becomes a to maxillofacial prosthodontist...

Breast prostheses are implanted for augmentation or during reconstructive surgery. One of the more commonly used prostheses is the polyurethane-sponge-covered silicone gel implant. Some clinicians are concerned about the safety of this product because the polyurethane foam disintegrates in vivo, and its subsequent fate is not known. Polyurethane is a polymer formed by reacting diisocyanates and...
