Part II of a four-part report presents an international survey that was conducted to determine the most frequently used materials in the fabrication of facial and somatoprostheses. The survey also solicited information about advantages and disadvantages, methods of coloring, and the perceived properties of an "ideal" material. The results of the survey indicated that the majority of prosthodontists and prosthetists are using room temperature-vulcanized silicone products, intrinsically colored with dry earth pigments or artist's pigments. The need for further research in materials for external prostheses was clearly indicated.
