In the wide variety of maxillofacial deformities resulting from congenital malformation, trauma, or excision of malignant tissue, restoration of function and of facial form is achieved by the replacement of missing soft tissue, repositioning of displaced bone, bone grafting of osseous defects, and restoration of adequate contour. In these cases, the surgeon and prosthodontist must work hand in hand. Prostheses may be temporary or permanent, depending on the extent of deformity, the age of the patient, and the long-term needs. Prostheses can be made from various materials, including methyl methacrylate, silicone, and polyvinyl, but until a substance is found that fulfills all the properties of an ideal prosthesis, the search for suitable substances will continue.
在由先天性畸形、创伤或恶性组织切除导致的各种各样的颌面畸形中，通过替换缺失的软组织、复位移位的骨骼、骨缺损的骨移植以及恢复适当的轮廓来实现功能和面部形态的恢复。在这些情况下，外科医生和口腔修复医生必须携手合作。假体可以是临时性的或永久性的，这取决于畸形的程度、患者的年龄以及长期需求。假体可以由各种材料制成，包括甲基丙烯酸甲酯、硅酮和聚乙烯，但在找到一种满足理想假体所有特性的物质之前，对合适物质的探索将继续。
