|August 26, 1998
Abstract
Purpose:
This literature review provides information about pigments used for facial and somatoprostheses.
Material:
This information includes common pigment and index names and numbers, lightfastness categories, chemical type and class, and the chemical formulas of the common pigments used in maxillofacial prosthetics.
Conclusion:
It can be deduced from this review that the pigments used with silicone elastomers do exhibit a color change, and that a color change is to be expected.
