BACKGROUND The theoretical and analytical work of these authors help identify the variables that the dentist must consider. There is, however, no comprehensive structure that would bring together the various aspects of psychological awareness that are most relevant to patients undergoing maxillofacial prosthetics. Important psychological factors are involved when disease, injury, or treatment causes significant maxillofacial changes. The assessment of the patient’s behaviour is important for the success of the treatment. It helps in understanding whether the said treatment can be carried out effectively or understood and appreciated by the patient once it is completed. [1] The result for a successful treatment outcome depends upon the prosthodontist making a correct diagnosis and looking out for problems beyond the field of dentistry alone. This is even more important while dealing with patients having orofacial defects as the maxillofacial region is of utmost importance during one’s early development. The oral cavity of the infants is one of the most prominent regions due to most of the developmental changes that occur in early life because of which Freud and other scientists named the first year of life as the “oral stage“.[2]
