Osseointegrated facial prostheses offer a viable maxillofacial rehabilitation option when surgery is not feasible. This method is particularly effective for nasal, auricular, and orbitopalpebral defects, especially after radiation therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Dental implantology

Background:

  • Osseointegrated facial prostheses provide an alternative to reconstructive surgery for maxillofacial defects.
  • Advances in epithesis materials and surgical techniques have increased interest in these prostheses.
  • They are suitable for nasal, auricular, and orbitopalpebral defects, as well as complex facial tissue loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications and contraindications for osseointegrated facial prostheses.
  • To discuss precautions for patients with a history of irradiation.
  • To highlight the role of endo-osseous epitheses in maxillofacial rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of osseointegrated facial prostheses.

  • Analysis of clinical indications and outcomes.
  • Discussion of surgical and material considerations.

    • Main Results:

    • Osseointegrated prostheses are best indicated for nasal, auricular, and orbitopalpebral defects.
    • They are recommended when surgical reconstruction is not possible or prognosis is uncertain.
    • Precautions for irradiated patients and contraindications are detailed.

    Conclusions:

    • Osseointegrated facial prostheses are a valuable tool for maxillofacial rehabilitation.
    • Careful patient selection and consideration of prior treatments like irradiation are crucial.
    • These prostheses offer a solution when reconstructive surgery is not a viable option.
