Maxillo-facial prosthetics can contribute much to the quality of life of patients with congenital problems or those treated surgically for a head and neck neoplasm. The availability of an adequate service varies internationally. The present study examines the current provision and requirements for such a service in Scotland. A questionnaire survey of 90 oral, plastic and ENT surgeons was carried out. Information was sought on numbers and types of cases seen, prosthetic treatment provided and involvement of Consultants in Restorative Dentistry in their management. The results show that most surgeons only treat a small number of such patients with a consequent dilution of experience, and with a possible need for supra-regional specialist centres. In addition there is a need for improvement of multi-disciplinary planning clinics for such cases.
颌面修复术对患有先天性问题的患者或因头颈部肿瘤接受手术治疗的患者的生活质量有很大贡献。这种服务在国际上的可获得性各不相同。本研究调查了苏格兰此类服务的现状和需求。对90名口腔、整形和耳鼻喉科外科医生进行了问卷调查。收集了关于所诊治病例的数量和类型、提供的修复治疗以及修复牙科顾问参与其管理情况的信息。结果表明，大多数外科医生仅治疗少数此类患者，导致经验稀释，可能需要建立超区域专科中心。此外，对于此类病例，需要改进多学科规划诊所。
