Cleft lip occurs due to improper fusion between the fronto-nasal and maxillary process .
Cleft lip &
palate
![Page 11: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
it is may be unilateral, bilateral and in Mohr's syndrome ,midline cleft lip is seen.
![Page 12: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cleft lip and the combination of cleftlip and cleft palate occur twice as often in males as in females,while cleft palate alone occurs more often in females.
![Page 13: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clefts occur mostoften in children ofAsian, Latino orNative AmericanThese deformities are known to occur less frequently in African Americans.

As a result of the abnormalities in the upper arch of the mouth, teeth may not erupt properly or may be missing completely. In such cases, artificial teeth and orthodontics (braces) are usually required. Routine oral hygiene, tooth brushing and flossing are still required to maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent gum disease (periodontitis) and tooth decay.

Treatments for Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
![Page 16: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate are treated over the course of 18 or more years. Treatment can involve a team of professionals beginning shortly after birth and continuing throughout adolescence .
![Page 17: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The treatment team includes medical, dental and other healthcare specialists who work together to address the many different and complicated needs specific to the individual.
![Page 18: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Most acquired defect occur due to surgical resection of tumors or trauma .
Acquired Maxillary Defect
![Page 19: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
These are usually classified based on their extent .1.Total maxillectomy : both the maxillae are resected. 2.Partial Maxillectomy: resection of one or a part of the maxilla or palate.

The three types of prostheses are constructed for both edentulous and dentulous patients
![Page 22: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

surgical obturator is constructed before the surgery and is inserted in the operating room
![Page 24: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
advantagesrestoration of normal speech and eating habits. Preventing the collapse of the soft tissues. Facial symmetry will be preserved, and retention of the interim and definitive prostheses will be facilitated. Above all, the mental well-being of the patient is improved considerably.
![Page 25: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
When the surgical dressing is removed (7 to 10 days after the operation), the immediate presurgical prosthesis can be relined with a provisional denture liner.
Interim Obturator
![Page 26: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Teeth may be addedto the interim obturator prosthesisif aesthetics are of primary importance.
![Page 27: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
However, it is advantageous to omit the placement of teeth to prevent occlusal loading in the region of resection during the early stage of healing. This delay reduces the chances of irritation that could affect healing of the surgical site.
![Page 28: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The interim prosthesis may be inserted 1 to 3 weeks after maxillary
resection.
![Page 29: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Most prostheses require relining or refitting within the first 6 months to 1 year because of slow and continuous tissue changes about the surgical defect and normal alveolar bone changes.

Neoplastic resection is one of the most common causes for an acquired mandibular defect ( carcinoma of the tongue , floor of the mouth ).
Acquired Defect Of The Mandible
![Page 36: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Resection of the mandible may often lead to speech and swallowing dysfunction , which are difficult to manage
![Page 37: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A Large Maxillofacial Prosthesis for Total Mandibular Defect
![Page 38: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

The wax contours of the facial prosthesis were formed with the aid of a presurgical photograph of the patient. The wax prosthesis was evaluated on the patient for esthetics and marginal adaptation. However, the soft tissue around the defect lacked sufficient anatomicundercuts to retain the prosthesisand the remaining bony structures were inadequate for dental implants.

![Page 41: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Retention by clear resin rods hung on the auricles
![Page 42: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
For support of the prosthesis interior, a basic framework was made using a combination of a U-shaped piece of acrylic resin and clear resin rods .
![Page 43: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
However, this was not adequate for retaining the weight of the prosthesis, so that the lower lip was separated from the upper lip by a gap of 1 cm. To obtain more retention, a lingual resin plate and two ball clasps for the upper front teeth were developed and then attached to the interior of the lower lip.
Attachment device placed onthe interior of the lower lip.

Materials Used in Maxillofacial Reconstruction
![Page 66: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
was once commonly used for maxillo- facial prostheses, and is still used occasionally to make artificial facial parts. When properly pigmented, these prostheses can look quite realistic.
POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE)
![Page 67: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
these are plasticized methyl methacrylate polymer , which show elastic property .These are not commonly used because they get tacky lead to collection of dust and stain , have poor edge strength and degrade under sun light.
Acrylic copolymers
![Page 68: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
it is a hard , clear , tasteless and odourless resin ,extensively used in the beginning but its used decreased due to shrinkage and long processing time , discoloration and hardening of the margin .
Polyvinyl Chloride And Copolymers
![Page 69: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
these materials have excellent properties like elasticity without compromised edge strength ( this help to thin material at the margin ) . They can be used to restore defect with mobile tissue beds .The disadvantages include the moisture sensitivity during processing and poor color stability .
Polyurethane Elastomers
![Page 70: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
it is the most commonly used material for facial restoration but poor tear strength and life- less appearance have limited them from universal acceptance .
![Page 71: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The process of crosslinking the silicone is known as vulcanizing. Vaulcanizing can occur with or without heat accordingly silicones are available in two forms.
![Page 72: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
1-HTV-Silicone : it requires heat for vulcanization . It is highly viscous , white , opaque and has better physical properties .
![Page 73: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
2-RTV-Silicones : they are room temperature polymerizing silicones . It is esear to process and allow intrinsic colouration .
![Page 74: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Metal : metal implants are used to obtain bone anchorage for a prosthesis . Implant metals used are Titanium alloys , base metal alloys are used for denture base fabrication

Realistic coloration of extraoral prostheses is an important feature for patient satisfaction and acceptability.
Coloration
![Page 76: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Cosmetic realism involves the correct application of colorant formulations within the base material before polymerization (intrinsic) and after
polymerization (extrinsic).
![Page 77: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Additionally, the finished prosthesis requires subtle characterization in order to approximate the texture of the adjacent tissue

The spectral values in natural skin must be matched by corresponding pigments to accommodate environmental changes, seasonal changes, and varying light conditions.

The ultimate in realistic cosmetic matching depends on the combination of intrinsic and extrinsic colorations.
![Page 80: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
is the first step in incorporating indepth coloration reflected internally by discrete pigment particles spectrally equivalent or approximating those of the physiologic colorant and color centers, namely arterial red, venous red-purple, carotenoid yellow, melanoid brown, and opaque dispersed cellular lipids.
Intrinsic Coloration
![Page 81: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Intrinsic coloration involves incorporating precise proportions of pigments by mixing (RTV) or milling (HTV) into the base elastomer before to packing in the mold and curing in a dry heat oven.
![Page 82: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
In general, the extrinsic coloration uses a medical-grade adhesive combined with xylene and earth pigments, which are applied to the external surface of the prosthesis. The prosthesis is then postcured in a dry heat oven to evaporate the xylene.
Extrinsic coloration

Fabrication Of the Prostheses
![Page 85: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
The method for fabricating a prosthesis is similar for most materials.An impression is made of the affected area with alginate. A master cast ispoured, duplicating the defect on the patient.
![Page 86: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
The artificial part (such as a nose) isthen carved in wax or clay on the master cast and tried on the patient to see if it fulfills the esthetic requirements.The pattern is then invested in a manner similar to that used for complete dentures. Denture flasks are often used for this purpose.
![Page 87: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
When the prosthesis is quite complex (such as an eye and orbit), three- or four-part molds are made. With some materials, metal molds are required because of high processing temperatures. After the pattern is invested, it is removed from the mold by use of a boiling water bath.
![Page 88: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
The mold is now ready to make the prosthesis. The patient should be present so pigments may be added to the elastomer to give a realistic appearance and match the patient's skin color.Generally, dry mineral earth pigments or artist's oil-based pigments are used.
![Page 89: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Color matching is done by mixing small amounts of the pigments into the elastomer. Some clinicians use color tabs and predetermined pigment formulations to match skin color.
![Page 90: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
When a color match is achieved, the elastomer is compression molded and processed according to the manufacturer's instructions.After processing, the prosthesis is removed from the mold and the excess flash is removed.
![Page 91: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Step 1 - Seat patient comfortably, cover hair and coat eyebrows with cold cream to prevent entrapment of alignate.
![Page 92: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Step 2 - Alignate mixed. Patient learns hand signals protocol to communicate. Pouring of alignate on forehead to allow for flow down the face.
![Page 93: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Step 3 - Alignate poured taking care not to entrap air in anatomical undercut areas. Incase the patient is traumatized (children or burns victims with painful skins) by process anaesthesia is needed.

Step 4- Guaze stockinet is removed from patients hair.Impression is removed from patients face (allowing time for patients eyes to adjust to light in the room
![Page 95: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Step 5 - Impression disinfected. Air passage blocked in impression. Exposed plaster coated with petroleum jelly to prevent bonding with stone cast. Stone allowed to gently flow over the surface of the alignate.
![Page 96: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Step 6 - Stone cast may need trimming on model trimmer.

Maxillofacial prostheses are usually fabricated on the basis of impressions made with dental-impression material.The extent to which the prosthesis reproduces normal facial morphology depends on the clinical judgment of the individual fabricating the prosthesis.
![Page 105: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
This new technique describes a computer-aided design and manufacturing system (CAD/CAM) for the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. This system will provide a more consistently accurate reproduction of facial morphology.
![Page 106: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Facial measurements were taken using a non-contact three-dimensional laser morphological measurement system.
![Page 107: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
The measurements were sent to a computer numerical controlled (CNC) milling machine to generatea cast of the patient's face for thefabrication of prosthesis.
![Page 108: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)

Facial contours were measured using a laser. This method minimizes patient discomfort and avoids soft tissue distortion by impression material. Moreover, the digital data obtained is easy to store and transmit, and mirror-images can be readily generated by computer processing.

This method offers an objective, quantified approach for fabricating maxillofacial prostheses.
Conclusion

This picture shows the cavity in the mouth of the patient after resection of a tumor.In order to protect the tissue weakened by irradiation and to be able to breathe and eat normally, this hole needs to be filled by an implant.

CT-scan of the patient was made. The soft tissue around the cavity, clearly visible on the scans, was modeled. This model served as a direct mold for the implant.
![Page 113: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
The implant, called obturator prosthesis, was cast from the mold in a bio-compatible silicone
![Page 114: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Absolutely no surgery was needed to implant the obturator prosthesis. As the silicone prosthesis is plastic deformable, it can be implanted very easily.
![Page 115: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
CONCLUSION: The prosthesis fits the cavity much better than ever could have been achieved by using impression techniques. These traditional techniques produce a master of the obturator prosthesis by making an impression of the cavity in a plastic deformable material.
![Page 116: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
The prostheses cast from such masters are always less accurate because of the presence of undercuts (the impression technique is not sensitive to local internal broadening of the cavity) and can severely damage the sensitive and vulnerable surrounding tissue.

The soft prosthesis is fixed by means of magnets on a hard dental implant. This makes it possible to take it out for inspection and to replace it afterwards.

Retention of maxillofacial prostheses
![Page 123: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Retention of facial prostheses has been primarily by way of medical adhesives. An ideal adhesive should be one that provides firm functional retention under flexure or extension during speech, facial expressions, and moisture or perspiration contact.
![Page 124: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Adhesives for extraoral maxillofacial prostheses require a substantial amount of supportive ingredients properly formulated to provide lasting viscoelasticity with a high degree of retention. Numerous brand names of adhesives have been introduced over the years in maxillofacial prosthetics.
![Page 125: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Other methods of retention include engagement of anatomic tissue undercuts, thereby minimizing dependence on adhesives. The potential for tissue irritation exists with this technique, and therefore it must be used prudently. Areas that have been irradiated contraindicate the use of this technique.
![Page 126: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Finally, with the increaed use of
osseointegrated implants, dependence on adhesive and anatomic methods of retention has diminished.
![Page 127: Maxillofacial prosthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58f9b1ac760da3da068bc319/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Magnets can be used to minimize force transfer to the implant and supporting bone. The resultant decrease in dependence on chemical (adhesives) and anatomic (tissue undercuts) sources of retention is beneficial to both the patient and the prosthetic rehabilitation.
