Maxillofacial prosthetic materials- an inclination towards silicones.
There have been constant searches and researches which are taking place in the field of dental materials to best suit the ideal selection criteria to satisfy the functionality, biocompatibility, aesthetics as well as the durability as a maxillofacial material. Among all the different materials, Silicone is the most popularly used, but still studies are carried out to overcome their weaknesses a...
متن کاملPolyurethane elastomers as maxillofacial prosthetic materials.
A series of polyurethane elastomers based on an aliphatic diisocyanate and a polyether macroglycol was polymerized with various cross-link densities and OH/NCO ratios. Stoichiometries yielding between 8,600 and 12,900 gm/mole/crosslink and an OH/NCO ratio of 1.1 resulted in polymers with the low modulus, yet high strength and elongation necessary for maxillofacial applications.
متن کاملMaxillofacial Prosthetic Materials: A Literature Review
Rehabilitation of patients with disabilities of head and neck region, due to either congenital or acquired defects is a challenging task. These defects range from minor cosmetic discrepancies to major functional limitation. The prosthodontics management of these patients should aim at not only restoring the functional and esthetic handicap, but also ensure psychological well being. For facial r...
متن کاملCurrent status--prosthetic materials for maxillofacial reconstruction.
A combined clinical service and research program has been in operation for over 1 year. The principal goal is to develop, qualify, and propose standards for prosthetic materials in terms of specifications for tactile qualities and endurance . These qualities are developed from standard stress-strain profiles which approximate those of living, facial tissue, and are clinically evaluated by the m...
متن کاملAnalysis of the properties of silicone rubber maxillofacial prosthetic materials.
OBJECTIVES Maxillofacial prosthetic materials are used to replace facial parts lost through disease or trauma. Silicone rubbers are the materials of choice, however it is widely accepted that these materials do not possess ideal properties. The objective of this study was to assess the properties of a range of commercially available silicone rubber maxillofacial materials and make recommendatio...
