Maxillofacial Prosthetics

Maxillofacial Prosthetics is art and science together applied to restore cranial and facial defects by designing prosthetics.

The main goal of Maxillofacial Prosthetics is to contribute to improving the patient´s quality of life.

Often this discipline begins where surgery ends, this field of dentistry applies to those patients with surgical defects, oncological management, and traumatic injuries.

EXTRAORAL PROSTHESIS

Ocular prosthetics.- replaces the eyeball
Orbital prosthesis.- replaces the eyeball and surrounding tissues
Atrial prosthesis.- replaces the ear, entire ear canal, or part of it.
Nasal prosthesis
Facial middle third prosthetics.- replaces parts of the face that may involve more than one structure.
Radiation protector.- acts by protecting normal and healthy tissues during the radiation process by exerting a beam attenuation.
Cranial prostheses or Maxillofacial Cranium.- These implanted prostheses are intended for people who have suffered head injuries and also some who have undergone cáncer treatments.

Nowadays, in Mexico, the Cranial Implant Prosthesis PMMA (resin) is highly used, which involves a faster and more accurate process with a cost quite low when compared to that of a titanium plate.

Another determining factor to promote the use of this technique is the fact that PMMA allows the patient to undergo any oncological treatment because it does not impede the passing of x-rays, which is a problem titanium prosthesis present.

INTRAORAL PROSTHESIS

The surgical shutter of the palate

Elevator Palate Prosthesis

It helps the soft palate to assume the correct position to solve speech defects.

Maxillofacial prosthesis for mandibular resection

It replaces part of the jaw that has been lost and restores teeth and gums to improve facial aesthetics.

A Maxillofacial Prosthesis treatment maintains a multidisciplinary approach in cooperation with Otorhinolaryngologists, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, Neurologists, Radiation Oncologists, Speech Pathologists, and several auxiliary professionals.
