Maxillofacial Prosthetics
Maxillofacial prosthetics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on restoring facial structures lost due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. This area involves creating custom prosthetic devices that can replace missing parts of the face, such as the nose, ears, or parts of the jaw. These prosthetics help improve both appearance and function, allowing individuals to regain confidence and enhance their quality of life.
The process typically involves collaboration among various healthcare professionals, including oral surgeons, dentists, and medical specialists. Advanced materials and techniques are used to ensure that the prosthetics are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable for the patient.
