    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Prosthodontics

    Context:

    • Maxillofacial defects significantly impact patient quality of life.
    • The acceptance of maxillofacial prostheses by the public and healthcare professionals is crucial for patient reintegration.
    • Previous research has focused on the technical aspects of prosthesis fabrication, with less emphasis on social perception.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the social acceptance and aesthetic perception of custom-made maxillofacial prostheses.
    • To understand how different social interactions influence the evaluation of patients with maxillofacial prostheses.
    • To identify specific aesthetic concerns related to maxillofacial prostheses.

    Summary:

    • A survey of 158 individuals (dental students, hygienists, nurses, and hospital staff) assessed perceptions of patients with maxillofacial prostheses.
    • Maxillofacial prostheses were found to be agreeable in most situations, particularly during conversation (86.1%) and initial encounters (91.8%).
    • Gauze covering was less preferred than prostheses during prolonged non-conversational contact (18.3% vs. 80.4%) and conversation (9.5% vs. 86.1%).

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight the positive social impact of maxillofacial prostheses in improving patient acceptance.
    • The study provides valuable insights for clinicians and designers to enhance patient outcomes and aesthetic satisfaction.
    • Understanding public perception can guide strategies for better patient support and reduce social stigma associated with maxillofacial defects.
