LIMITATIONS OF MFP MATERIAL
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 success of 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.

    74 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).

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Computer numerical control - CNC
  • #23 Visible light cured resin is also being used, which has an organic filler made of acrylic resin beads of different sizes that become part of the polymer network structure upon curing. The matrix is a urethane dimethacrylate with microfine silica and contains a camphoroquinone amine as photoinitiator
  • #25 Powder - Plasticized methyl methacrylate polymers Liquid - MMA
  • #26 5-20% vinyl acetate – more flexible Loss of plasticizers – loss of color
  • #27 Organotin - catalyst
  • #28 Isocyanate – moisture sensitive – porous elastomers
  • #29 Viscosity – length of polymer chain Fillers – strength Additives - Colors
  • #30 140–160°C
  • #31 Implant grade: They are placed within the tissues (breast implants). Medical grade: They are approved for external use only. It is the most commonly used variety for fabricating maxillofacial prosthesis. Clean grade: Industrial use Industrial grade: Industrial use.
  • #33 According to curing – 2 types viscous silicone polymer Chloroplatinic acid, Stannous octate - catalyst Hydro-methyl siloxane, Orthoalkyl silicate – cross linking agent Diatomaceous earth – filler – strength The addition type give off very little or no byproducts during the curing process
  • #36 moisture cannot penetrate deep enough for polymerization.
  • #37 Impurities - (e.g., amines, sulfurous, or other catalyst poisons)
  • #39 Process with plaster, dental stone
  • #46 Process with plaster, dental stone
  • #51 Long working time
  • #52 POLYARYL ETHER KETONE
  • #53 Process with plaster, dental stone
  • #54 Mri, ct, laser, 3d photogrammetry
  • #57 Process with plaster, dental stone
  • #58 Hue – dominant color Value – lightness r darkness Chroma – saturation of color
  • #71 Latex adhesive
