[Possibilities and limitations for the correction of bony, dental and mucosal tissue loss in children using a maxillofacial prosthesis].

The maxillofacial prosthesis for surgical treatment of loss of bony, dental or mucosal substance in children has the advantage of allowing postponement of therapy until growth is terminated or any other favorable period. In addition, the temporary reconstitutions possible by their use often provide, apart from esthetic results, an effective action physically and mentally on the mainly labile growth.

[Research and development for the CAD system of maxillofacial prosthesis].

OBJECTIVE: To establish a CAD system of maxillofacial prostheses. METHODS: The maxillofacial prosthesis CAD system, which included mirror technique, boolean operation and use of FreeForm software, was introduced in detail by use of two clinical cases of auricular and orbital prostheses. RESULTS: The CAD system of maxillofacial prosthesis was successfully established. The 3-D digital images of defected sides of two cases were quickly and conveniently obtained, which were symmetrical and harmoniously match to the deficient sides. CONCLUSION: The established CAD technique is a useful system in maxillofacial area. It may be applied in clinic in future.

A large maxillofacial prosthesis for total mandibular defect: a case report.

We successfully fabricated a large maxillofacial prosthesis for replacement of a total mandibular defect resulting from surgical failure to reconstruct the mandible. Although a number of reports have described procedures for fabricating midfacial prostheses, there is little information on prostheses to compensate for total loss of the mandible. A 54-year-old woman was referred to the Dentistry and Oral Surgery Division of the National Cancer Center Hospital with total loss of the mandible and the surrounding facial soft tissue. The facial prosthesis we used to treat this patient is unique in that it is adequately retained without the use of extraoral implants and conventional adhesives. This prosthesis is retained by the bilateral auricles and the remaining upper front teeth. We present details of the design of this large silicone maxillofacial prosthesis, with which we successfully rehabilitated the patient.

Articulator modification for maxillofacial prosthesis.

A modification has been described which will permit the use of a face-bow for maxillofacial prosthesis construction. Any inferior positioning of the maxillary cast can now be compensated for by increasing the condylar inclination to maintain the correct relationship to the occlusal plane. By modifying an existing articulator, versatility has been achieved and the extreme cost of a new instrument has been avoided. While this design does not solve the problems encountered with maxillofacial prostheses, it does serve to make fabrication of prostheses easier for both the dental laboratory technician and the dentist.
