    Maxillo Facial (4-1)

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Hassan
    The document discusses maxillofacial prosthetics which involves artificial replacements for parts of the face that are missing or defective. It describes different types of maxillofacial defects including congenital defects like cleft lip or palate, acquired defects from accidents or surgery, and developmental defects. The objectives and functions of maxillofacial prosthetics are to restore natural appearance, anatomy, and protect tissues while reconstructing function. There are two main types of prosthetics - extra-oral which replace external structures like the eye, ear or nose, and intraoral which are inside the mouth and replace structures like the palate or jaw. Combination and craniofacial prosthetics are also discussed.

    Maxillofacial prosthesis
    Lecture 1

    Afeiaa lateef Jassim


    MSC. Prosthetic Dental Technologies
    Maxillofacial prosthetics: The art and science of anatomic,
    functional or cosmetic reconstruction by means of artificial
    substitutes in the maxilla, mandible and face that are missing or
    defective because of acquired or congenital malformation.
    Maxillofacial prosthesis: The term maxillofacial prosthesis
    refers to the artificial restoration that replaces the missing part of
    the human face.

    Anaplastology: is a branch of medicine dealing with the


    prosthetic rehabilitation of an absent, disfigured or malformed part
    of human body.
    Anaplastologist: specialist who creates artificial prosthetics. A
    more common term is maxillofacial prosthetist.
    Cleft palate :is a split or opening in the roof of the mouth due to
    the failure of palatal shelves to come fully together during the first
    months of pregnancy .

    Cleft lip: is an opening in the upper lip that may extend into the
    nose that occur very early in pregnancy.

    1
    The objective of maxillofacial prosthesis

    1. It provides natural appearance& Improves esthetics.

    2. A facial prosthesis restores normal anatomy.

    3. It provides great psychological benefits to the patients.

    4. The construct an appliance which restores the defect& it

    protects the tissue& reconstruction of function.

    Functions of a maxillofacial prosthesis

    1. Preservation of residual structure.


    2. Reconstruction of function and esthetic.
    3. Decreased hospital stay.
    There are three types of maxillofacial defects
    1) Congenital: cleft palate, cleft lip, missing ear.
    2) Acquired: accident, surgery, pathology.
    3) Developmental: prognathism, retrognathism.

    2
    Developmental defects:
    Retrognathism: abnormal posterior positioning of the maxilla
    or mandible.
    Prognathism: refers to a protruding of jaw.

    Micrognathia : is a condition in which the jaw is undersized.

    Types of maxillofacial prosthesis


    There are two types of maxillofacial prosthesis:
    1) Extra-oral Prosthesis.
    2) Intraoral Prostheses.

    3
    3) Combination of intra and extra oral prostheses.
    4) Cranial and facial Prosthesis.

    1. Extra-oral Prosthesis

    A. Ocular Prosthesis: - A prosthesis that replaces Eye.

    B. Orbital Prosthesis: A prosthesis that replaces Eye and

    surrounding tissues.

    C. Auricular Prosthesis: A prosthesis that replace Ear.

    4
    D. Nasal Prosthesis: A prosthesis that replaces Nose.

    E. Mid facial Prosthesis: A prosthesis that replaces part of the


    face which may involve more than one structure.

    F. Somatic Prosthesis: A prosthesis that replaces a body part


    like fingers, hands, etc.

    5
    2. Intraoral Prostheses:

    They are involve the soft & hard palate, mandibular jaw, tongue.

    A. Obturators

    Definition: Close congenital or acquired defects.


    Obturator parts
    i. Teeth.
    ii. Clasps.
    iii. Acrylic base.

    6
     Surgical Obturator Prosthesis (splint)

    A prosthesis that covers palate after partial or total loss of the

    maxilla (Upper jaw). It is used after surgery to provide closure.

     Interim & Definitive Obturator


    A prosthesis that covers the palate after partial or total loss of

    maxilla or due to cleft palate. It restores teeth and gums and has an

    extension which closes the defect or hole for swallowing, eating,

    chewing, and speaking.

    7
    B. Feeding plate:

    It is a prosthetic aid that designed to seal the cleft and restore the

    separation between oral and nasal cavities.

    C. Mandibular Resection Prosthesis: A prosthesis that

    replaces portion of the jaw that has been lost and restores gums

    and teeth.

    3. Combination of intra and extra oral prostheses:

    Used in case partial lossof the maxilla or mandible that includes

    facial structures.

    8
    4. Cranial and facial Prosthesis: to compensate for cranial
    bone loss due to skull injury.
