Maxillofacial Prosthetics
Maxillofacial prosthetics plays a crucial role in restoring form, function, and aesthetics for individuals with facial or craniofacial defects, utilizing custom prosthetic devices like facial prostheses, orbital prostheses, and obturators. The primary objective is to enhance the quality of life and confidence of individuals with facial abnormalities. The realm of maxillofacial prosthetics encompasses CAD/CAM, materials and tissue engineering, digital dentistry, augmented reality, rapid prototyping, osseointegration, and virtual reality simulation. These technologies contribute to improved precision, customization, aesthetics, patient communication, and training opportunities within maxillofacial prosthetics
