This book explores the evolving field of extraoral maxillofacial prosthetics, focusing on the rehabilitation of facial defects resulting from trauma, congenital conditions, or oncologic surgery. It provides a structured overview of the types of extraoral prostheses based on anatomical location, retention methods, and materials used.The book highlights the transition from traditional materials like PMMA to modern medical-grade silicones, and from manual techniques to digital workflows involving 3D scanning, CAD/CAM, and additive manufacturing. Various retention strategies such as adhesive-based, mechanical, and implant-retained methods are examined for their clinical applicability.It also emphasizes the psychological and social benefits of prosthetic rehabilitation and discusses ongoing challenges including material degradation, cost, and patient compliance.
