Abstract

Maxillofacial prosthetics plays a key role in the overall rehabilitation of patients who have undergone extensive surgery following tumour resections and trauma or have congenitally missing body parts. Retention of silicone prostheses can be offered through a number of methods. The type of retention can be planned on the basis of evaluation of clinical factors and patient compliance factors to give the patient the most compatible method of retention for his prosthesis.
