“…These materials vary in terms of durability, maintenance, replacement, care, and hygiene, and the levels of concern of the patients wearing cryolite glass prostheses seem significantly lower when compared with those of patients wearing PMMA prostheses 35 . Despite this, PMMA was the material of choice for this study because most professionals use it for ocular prosthesis fabrication 15,16,25,27,34 . In addition, the acrylic prosthetic eye technique is a straightforward one, with good esthetic results and good survival rates 15 …”

“…Globally, the number of blind people of all ages is 39 million, of whom 32 million are 50 years or older and 1.26 million are children under 15 years old 10–12 . Blindness may cause facial disfigurement and/or pain with consequent indication for eyeball removal, 13 and rehabilitation with an ocular prosthesis to repair esthetics and function, contributing to social reintegration and improvement in quality of life 14–16 …”

Purpose This prospective study evaluated and correlated the impact of ocular prostheses on quality of life and stress with socioeconomic level and clinical characteristics. The clinical difficulties and perceptions of patients after ocular rehabilitation were evaluated. Materials and Methods Anophthalmic patients (at least 18 years of age) who were not users of ocular prostheses were recruited. The Medical Outcomes Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS‐10) questionnaires were administered before and after 3 and 6 months of prosthesis installation. Clinical characteristics, difficulties, and perceptions were evaluated by quantitative and descriptive analysis (7 days, 3 months, 6 months). Data were analyzed by the Friedman test and Pearson Correlation test (α = 0.05). Results The final sample consisted of 26 patients. Quality of life showed improvement in the “Bodily Pain” and “General Health” domains. Wearing the prosthesis did not influence perceived stress. The clinical evaluation showed clinical discharge over 6 months and presence of pain only at 7 days. A weak correlation occurred between sociodemographic characteristics and the categories “Role‐Physical” (r = 0.423) and “General Health” (r = 0.494); cause of anophthalmia and “Role‐Physical” (r = –0.471); and type of surgery and “General Health” (r = –0.432). Conclusions According to the results of this study, the provision of ocular prostheses showed positive influence in 2 domains of quality of life and weak correlations with socioeconomic level, type of surgery, and cause of loss. Ocular rehabilitation did not influence stress. The use and care of the prostheses did not affect tissue inflammation, but the discharge was continuous.

“…Advancements in technology and introduction of three dimensional scanning techniques using extraoral scanners, reconstructions using DICOM image files, rapid prototyping, and spectrophotometer have enhanced the precision that can be achieved in maxillofacial prosthetics. For intraoral defect, advancements in material like PEEK and modifications in designs allows to achieve more esthetic results by concealing the metal display and enhancing appearance with function [9].…”

Maxillofacial defects arising due to developmental anomalies, trauma or ablative cancer surgeries pose a challenge to an individual due to alteration in form, function and esthetics. Face is considered to be a reflection of one’s personality and existence. Any alteration in facial structures or symmetry alters the esthetics of an individual. This may have a deep psychological impact on the patient affecting self-confidence, self-worth and ability to interact among peers. Maxillofacial Prosthodontics is a specialty that deals with rehabilitation of missing or deformed structures of orofacial region to achieve normalcy as much as practically feasible. A multidisciplinary approach is required to evaluate the psychological status, understand the impact of defect altering esthetics and mental make-up of the patient and follow an organized approach to alleviate the impact of maxillofacial defects in overall life of an individual. This chapter highlights the impact of maxillofacial defect on esthetics of an individual and psychological impact of the same.

An ideal maxillofacial prosthetic material must have excellent tissue receptivity.Fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses presents various problems, such as obtaining impressions, mold construction, coloration and characterization to resemble human skin, also, the range of mechanical properties and degree of permanence desired in materials poses a challenge. Prosthetic materials should be translucent, color stable with a tendency to stain, easy to clean and be flexible conjunct to the skin which it adheres to. In addition, it must be able to adhere securely and comfortably and exhibit a fine line marginal contact.In this article the authors have tried to explain in detail about all maxillofacial prosthetic materials that have been used and are being used, with a note on the most recent 3D printing technology being researched currently for facial prostheses.
