Evaluation of additive manufacturing processes in the production of oculo-palpebral prosthesis.

Prosthetic restorations are made to adapt or attach missing human parts in order to restore function and appearance. Maxillofacial defects connote a greater impact on patients, since the face cannot be concealed, and all the senses of the human body are expressed in it. Therefore, in order to restore the patient's quality of life, they are the ones that require the best possible adaptation to the characteristics of the patients.

Present and future of extraoral maxillofacial prosthodontics: Cancer rehabilitation.

Historically, facial prosthetics have successfully rehabilitated individuals with acquired or congenital anatomical deficiencies of the face. This history includes extensive efforts in research and development to explore best practices in materials, methods, and artisanal techniques. Presently, extraoral maxillofacial rehabilitation is managed by a multiprofessional team that has evolved with a broadened scope of knowledge, skills, and responsibility.
