الملخص

Maxillofacial prosthetic materials are used to replace the facial parts that are lost through disease or trauma. Acquired and congenital defects of the face create an unfortunate condition for an individual. For the individual to lead a comfortable life requires facial rehabilitation, thus a reassessment of materials used in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis seems desirable.

The materials have travelled a long way from wood, wax, primitive metal, leather, rubber, etc. to the latest biomedical material such as polymers. While the newer materials have exhibited some excellent properties they have also exhibited some frustrating deficiencies. We still are in search of a material comprising all the ideal properties so as to best restore a maxillofacial defect. The prosthodontist are limited by the inadequate material available for facial restorations, movable tissue below, difficulty in retaining large prostheses and the patient's capacity to accept the final result. Hence this review article discuss briefly about the evolutionary changes the maxilla-facial prosthetic material has undergone during these decades.
