Maxillofacial defects can result from trauma, treatment of neoplasm, or congenital malformations. Many a time due to the size, location of the defect, or because of the patient's medical condition, surgical reconstruction may not be possible. In these cases, rehabilitation is indicated with the help of a maxillofacial prosthesis. Orofacial digital syndrome (OFDS) is a congenital anomaly that affects the development of the mouth, face, and digits. Such abnormalities or defects compromise form, function, esthetics, and social acceptance and deeply affect the psychological status of an individual. This report describes the comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation of a case of OFDS with bilateral cleft lip and palate as well as syndactyly and brachydactyly of the foot. The individual was rehabilitated with a definitive obturator and a custom-made foot prosthesis using room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone. The prosthetic rehabilitation significantly improved esthetics, phonetics, and function as well as social and psychological status of the patient.
颌面缺损可由创伤、肿瘤治疗或先天性畸形引起。很多时候，由于缺损的大小、位置或患者的病情，手术重建可能无法进行。在这些情况下，需要借助颌面修复体进行康复治疗。口面指综合征（OFDS）是一种影响口腔、面部和手指发育的先天性异常。此类异常或缺损会损害外形、功能、美观和社会接受度，并深刻影响个体的心理状态。本报告描述了一例患有双侧唇腭裂以及足部并指（趾）畸形和短指（趾）畸形的口面指综合征患者的综合修复康复情况。该患者使用室温硫化硅橡胶制作了定制的终末封闭器和足部修复体进行康复治疗。修复康复显著改善了患者的美观、语音、功能以及社会和心理状态。
