چکیده
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 molding of actual prostheses for patient trial .

متن کاملSaving Faces Changing Lives the Art of Maxillofacial Prosthodontics Case Series Comparing Two Different Materials
Surgical reconstruction of large facial defects is not possible at times due to extensive loss of tissues that cannot be corrected by surgery alone. In these cases, prosthetic restoration of lost facial tissues can be done using maxillofacial prostheses. Introduction of new material which gives life-like appearance to such prosthetic restorations e.g. silicone and poly ether rubbers and use of ...
