History
Artificial
facial parts found on Egyptian mummies
long time ago.
Ancient Chinese known to have made facial
restorations.
1953 -- American Academy of Maxillofacial
Prosthetics founded.

Overview
Maxillofacial prosthetics is a branch of
prosthodontics in dentistry.
Main aim is to restore the function and
esthetics of an individual.
Its also approve a psychological state of
a patient after a trauma or surgery.

Management of patient for MFP.
9
Patients risk assessment should be done.
A surgeon should consulate with a dentist about
a surgery so that there should be a team work.
All surgical alterations should be demonstrated
for a dentist on a cast and obturator should be
made for a day of a surgery.

12
Post surgical management.
After a surgery and even before it’s a team work for a
rehabilitation of a patient that includes:
1. Maxillofacial surgeon.
2. Prosthodontics.
3. Orthodontist.
4. Phyciastrist.
5. Speech rehabilitation specialist.
6. Oncologist.
7. Plastic surgeon specialist

Congenital defects
Lip and palate development:
Upper lip develop by coalescence of the premaxilla and
maxillary growth centers on either sides to produce the
complete lip.
Fusion of the of the lip developing from growth centers
commences around each nostril floor and spreads
downwards towards the lower border of the lip uniting
the premaxilla and maxillary process in each side.
14
Congenital defects
15
Congenital defects
The palate:
Palate develops from the max. and premix. growth
centers, union of the three segments commencing at
the region of the nasal floor presented in full
development by the nasal foramen.
Union from this point proceeds backwards until both
the hard and soft palates and uvula have united, and
forwards along the of the future maxillary and
premaxillary structures eventually.
16
Congenital defects
• Lack of fusion of the palatal shelves either completely
or partially occurs during embryonic growth side.
• Failure of union of palatine processes at any stage will
result in a cleft palate which may be pre-alveolar
( cleft lip ) or post alveolar ( cleft palate ) .
• Cleft palate between 6th – 9th wk. of the embryonic
life.
17
Congenital defects
Classification of cleft palate
Pre-alveolar e.g. cleft lip
Post alveolar any cleft from uvula up to incisive
foramen.
Alveolar cleft extending from uvula to alveolar ridge
and lip either unilateral or bilateral.
18
Congenital defects
Effects of cleft palate and lip
1. Speech – lack of valvopharyngeal closure leads to
escape of air through the nose (nasal speech)
2. Deglutition – greatly impede the feeding,
regurgitation and escape of fluids through the nose
takes place .
3. Mastication – impaired due to escape of food through
the nasal cavity and due to missing teeth and
malocclusion .

22
Congenital defects
Reason for early closure of cleft palate
1. To produce longer and more mobile soft palate
with better muscular development and
2. velopharyngeal closure.
3. To habilitate the patient for normal speech.
4. To allow undisturbed growth of maxilla.
23
ACQUIRED PALATAL DEFECTS
DEFINITION:
Lack of continuity of originally intact palatal structures
through the whole or part of its length.
Etiology:
Surgical e.g. tumor removal.
Traumatic fracture of maxilla.
Pathological conditions e.g. osteomyelitis, T. B., and
syphilis .

ACQUIRED PALATAL
DEFECTS
27
IMMEDIATE
OBTURATOR
o During operation eradication of the
involved area, and surgical cavity is
filled with surgical pack.
o We can say, it is simple plate with no
teeth and constructed before surgery
to be inserted immediately after
surgery .
28
Temporary Obturators
Temporary/Transitional Obturator:
Constructed few days after operation to help in
restoring oro-nasal function. Carries teeth and stays 3-
6 months. Making impression is complicated by
presence of the wound and presence of the defect.
29
Temporary Obturators
The defect is packed with gauze dipped in
Vaseline to the level of the remaining tissue,
then impression is taken with modified stock tray
using elastic impression material.
The steps of construction are the same as in
immediate obturator.
30
Temporary Obturators
Function: helps in restoring
1. Speech.
2. Feeding.
3. Esthetics.
4. Prevent wound contamination.
31
Definitive Obturators
Definitive Obturator:
32
Definitive Obturators
Preparation of the mouth for obturator:
I. Extract hopeless teeth.
II. Periodontal therapy.
III. Restore carious teeth.
33
Definitive Obturators
Types of obturators:
1. Hollow bulb (Closed).
2. Roofless (Open bulb).
34
Definitive Obturators
Construction:
1. Select stock tray, modified with wax according to
the size and shape of the defect.
2. Partially, pack the defect with Vaseline gauze, then
do primary impression using alginate.
35
Definitive Obturators
3. Under cuts are lift to help in retention. Gauze can
prevent broken pieces of alginate from escaping into
the defect.
4. Construct sp. Trays and do final impression using
alginate or rubber base impression material.
5. Outline the master cast to mark the bearing area,
blocking severe undercut, leaving small undercut
area for obturator retention.

Skin Grafting of Defect
Less pain while healing.
Less contracture of scar band which obscures
cancer surveillance.
Accomodates obturator better.
