Rehabilitation of unilateral mastectomy using a hollow breast prosthesis: A clinical case report.

The incidence of breast carcinoma is reportedly the second highest among all carcinomas in Indian women. Depending on the extent of resection, age, general health, and economic condition of the patient, various methods of breast reconstruction using surgery have been reported with success and a superior cosmesis. When the patient is unwilling to opt for surgical reconstruction due to various constraints, an alternative technique must be employed.

Magnet and Semi Precision Attachment in an Implant Retained Partial Denture for the Rehabilitation of an Irradiated Marginal Mandibulectomy Patient: A Case Report.

Surgical treatment of malignancies in the oral cavity (mandible, tongue, floor of the mouth, alveolus, buccal sulcus) often results in an unfavourable anatomic condition for prosthodontic rehabilitation. Hence, maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation becomes a mightier task when resection is accompanied by radiation therapy. In selected cases, implant therapy comes to rescue.

Evaluation of varying concentrations of nano-oxides as ultraviolet protective agents when incorporated in maxillofacial silicones: an in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: A silicone prosthesis used to rehabilitate defects caused by cancer does not usually protect the underlying skin from ultraviolet light. Additives to the maxillofacial material may add ultraviolet protection.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of ultraviolet protection after incorporating varying concentrations of nano-oxides in Cosmesil M511 medical grade silicone elastomer.
