“…This new methodology can be used to increase the reliability of the smartphone as a tool for the manufacture of the facial prosthesis. condition [3][4][5]. Facial prostheses are made from silicone, due to its excellent properties of flexibility, texture, and color, which are similar to those of natural skin [6].…”

“…[5,85,86] Remaining challenges include the need for further biocompatibility certification, [87] the development of improved user-friendly production pipelines (3D scanning, computer modeling, etc. ), [88] and the need for more clinical evidence-based studies. Aside from high degrees of personalization and realism, the lower costs of advanced manufacturing compare favorably to traditional methods, which are relatively more labor intensive and require high levels of specialized artistic skill.…”

“…ABS is a strong, durable, and chemically resistant polymer with a low melting temperature making it ideal for use in FDM printing. [88,212,214,215] Another widely used FDM material for producing prosthetics molds is poly(lactic acid) (PLA) which is a popular polymer with the monomer made from fermented plant starch and is available as a low-cost filament roll. [213,216] Many proprietary rigid materials are also available from commercial 3D printer manufacturers, with polypropylene-like materials, ABS-like materials, nylon materials, and proprietary blends.…”

past 30 years, [12,13] it is only the last decade that has seen its rapid development as part of the fourth industrial revolution. [14] This change in practice is evidenced by the significant fraction of recent literature describing advances in 3D printed prostheses, including technological advances [4,15-18] and clinical reports. [19,20] Further innovations involving collaborations between clinicians, academics, and industry, promise even greater capabilities. The future will see 3D printers that can mix materials as desired during fabrication [21] and those that can 3D print organic semiconductors and piezoelectric polymers for sensing and bionics [22-24] (Figure 1). This report is focused on polymers for soft tissue, external, personalized, prosthetics with clinical applications for the ear, [25] nose, [26] eye, [27] face, [28] breast, [29] and hand. [30] The characteristics of both traditional and 3D printable polymeric materials, as well as current advanced manufacturing technologies and those in development, are also reviewed. The earliest evidence of prosthetics dates back to ≈2300 BC, where Egyptian mummies have been discovered with eye, nose, and genital reconstructions fashioned from plaster packed with mud, sand, linen, butter, or soda (Figure 1). [31] Wood, cloth, natural waxes, resins, and metals were later used as the material of choice for rudimentary prostheses. [32] Prostheses remained relatively unchanged for thousands of years until the 16th century, where prosthetic noses and eyes were made from parchment, wax, wood, hard rubber, gold, silver, and copper. [33] Metals continued as a fundamental material throughout the 19th century, largely due to their ability to be shaped and molded as needed. [34,35] One of the first polymers to be used in prosthetics, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), was developed in response to the glass shortages in the World Wars of the 20th Century. [36] This polymer went on to become the most common prosthetic material of the time, and still finds use today in artificial eyes [33] and prosthetic substructures. [37] Further innovations in the 20th century produced many new polymers, such as vinyls, copolymers, plastisols, and one of the most significant materials in prosthetics, silicone. [38] Discovered in the early 1900s by Fredrick Kipping, silicone was first used in prosthetics by George W Barnhart in 1960. [39] This versatile polymer remains a primary prosthetic material today due to its soft tissue-like properties, ease of manipulation, chemical inertness, durability, and excellent biocompatibility. [40,41] The search for alternative materials Millions of people worldwide experience disfigurement due to cancers, congenital defects, or trauma, leading to significant psychological, social, and economic disadvantage. Prosthetics aim to reduce their suffering by restoring aesthetics and function using synthetic materials that mimic the characteristics of native tissue. In the 1900s, natural materials used for thousands of years in prosthetics were replaced by syntheti...

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.
