Abstract:
The interim midfacial prosthesis uses a rigid backing support with flexible margins and can be made with most types of commercially available medical grade silicone elastomers. The technique may be modified for fabrication of definitive midfacial prostheses. The disadvantage of the technique is that an extra step is required to make a duplicate master cast, and a vacuum adaptor is needed.
