Maxillofacial prosthetics involves the design and fabrication of prosthetic devices to restore or replace missing or damaged structures in the head and neck region, particularly the face and jaw. This field addresses various conditions, including congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, and surgical removal of tumors.

Common maxillofacial prosthetic devices include:

    1.    Facial Prosthetics: Designed to replace or restore facial features, such as an ear, nose, or eye.
    2.    Orbital Prosthetics: Prosthetic eyes or eyelids for individuals who have lost an eye due to injury or disease.
    3.    Palatal Obturators: Used to close openings in the roof of the mouth (palate) caused by surgical removal of tumors or congenital conditions.

These prosthetics are custom-made to match the individual’s natural appearance as closely as possible. Maxillofacial prosthetics often involves collaboration between prosthodontists, oral surgeons, and other healthcare professionals.
