The field of maxillofacial prosthetics is concerned with the prosthetic reconstruction of missing head and neck tissue. A prosthetic replacement of an exterior part is termed an epithesis. Beautiful examples of such prostheses were described as early as the 17th century. Often these defects were caused by war traumas or accidents. Currently, facial prostheses are usually applied in cases of defects caused by the surgical removal of tumors or congenital defects. Retention of devices has always been problematic. The contributions that implants can make to solve these problems are discussed by examining some cases.
颌面修复领域关注头颈部缺失组织的修复重建。外部部位的假体置换称为外置假体。早在17世纪就有此类假体的精美实例记载。这些缺损通常由战争创伤或事故导致。目前，面部假体通常应用于因肿瘤手术切除或先天性缺损造成的缺损病例。装置的固位一直是个难题。通过一些病例分析来探讨种植体在解决这些问题方面所能发挥的作用。
