Abstract:
Vaginal agenesis is one of the major congenital anomalies affecting women. Postoperative prosthetic vaginal dilators are indicated in patients treated surgically for vaginal agenesis. Although different dental materials such as acrylics and silicone-coated materials are used, addition silicones alone have never been used for the fabrication of prosthetic vaginal dilators. Addition silicone materials have advantages, such as high elastic recovery, high tear and tensile strengths, which aid in the definitive use of vaginal dilators. Vaginal dilators fabricated using addition silicone materials act as an efficient prosthesis in terms of function and ease of use in surgically treated vaginal agenesis patients.
