Prosthetic materials are used to replace facial parts lost through disease or trauma. Facial defect should be surgically corrected to restore function and esthetics. However, surgical reconstruction may not be possible because af size of defect and location of the defect hence prosthetic rehabilitation is indicated in such cases. The appearance can be restored by the maxillofacial prosthesis and provides great psychological benefits to the patient. Materials for maxillofacial prosthetic reconstruction span the full range of chemical structures with physical properties ranging from hard polymers to soft flexible polymers and elastomers and their formulations as latex and plastisols. The historical development followed closely and adjunctively over the years with innovations in dental materials from primitive to sophisticated and intricate configurations, in conformity with required functionality and cosmetic appearance. Several books exist describing about it, but this volume will help in comprehensive overview of the materials used in maxillofacial prosthesis.
