Objective:
To evaluate the clinic results of maxillofacial prosthetic treatment for unilateral maxillary defect.
Methods:
Masticatory efficiency was tested before and after maxillofacial prosthetic treatment for unilateral maxillary defect.
Results:
There was significant difference between one week, one month, three months after treatment and before treatment(F = 0.635, P = 0.002). Masticatory efficiency was increased by 59.98% after one month.
Conclusion:
Maxillofacial prosthetic treatment can significantly increase the masticatory efficiency of unilateral maxillary defect. It remains stable one month later.
