LIMITATIONS OF MFPMATERIAL
6/22/2022
No single maxillofacial material is ideal for every patient.
1. Continued effect of sunlight and vascular dilatation & contraction on the natural tissues cannot be
duplicated in the prosthesis.
2. Variations of skin tone when the patient is exposed to different light sources (e.g., incandescent,
fluorescent, & natural light) cannot be duplicated in the prosthesis.
3. The prosthesis cannot duplicate the full facial movement of the non defective side.
4. Varying physiologic conditions of the patient in everyday living (e.g., lack of sleep, infectious diseases, and
edema resulting from interrupted lymph drainage caused by surgery) cannot be duplicated in the
prosthesis.
5. Lack of predictability of the life of the prosthesis, because of variations among patients (i.e., secretions,
smoking, and environment).

CONCLUSION
• The successof the prosthetic rehabilitation of the facial defect limited by mechanical and physical
properties of the material.
• None of the materials meet our needs completely.
• There are certain advantages and disadvantages of materials.
• It is in clinicians hand, to choose the material wisely based on clinical scenario.
