  2. Maxillofacial prosthodontics is a specialty of dentistry which deals with the rehabilitation of patients with acquired and congenital defects of the head and neck region. These range from minor to major functional disabilities combined with cosmetic disfigurement. • Maxillofacial Prosthodontists work with a team which may include ENTs, head and neck surgeons, prosthodontists, oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, neurologists, radiation oncologists, speech pathologists, anaplastologists, and various other professionals.

  7. Surgical Obturator Prosthesis: covers the palate after partial or total loss of the maxilla (upper jaw); used after surgery to provide closure. • Interim and Definitive Obturator: covers the palate after partial or total loss of maxilla or due to cleft palate; restores teeth and gums and has an extension which closes the defect or hole, facilitating swallowing, eating, chewing, and speaking. • Palatal Lift Prosthesis: helps soft palate assume correct position for speech.

  8. Palatal Augmentation (Drop) Prosthesis: alters palatal position prosthetically for speech. • Mandibular Resection Prosthesis: replaces a portion of the jaw that has been lost and restores gums and teeth for improved mastication and facial esthetics. • Fluoride Carrier: tray filled with Fluoride gel for patients with xerostomia from medications, radiation therapy, or certain medical conditions.

  9. Commissure Splint: effective in association with surgery to reduce postsurgical scar contraction (microstomia); patients with scleroderma also benefit from this treatment. • Shielding: worn during radiation therapy to protect intraoral healthy tissues and salivary glands. • Maxillofacial disfigurement can be congenital, developmental, traumatic or because of ablative surgery. Such defects compromise appearance, function and render an individual, incapable of leading a relatively normal life and affect his\her psyche. As the patient’s quality of life is altered; social integration becomes difficult and the expectation to return to “normalcy” collapses. The prognosis for a successful treatment outcome is dependent upon making a correct diagnosis and anticipating issues beyond the realm of dentistry alone.
