| dc.description.abstract | Orofacial trauma result in tissue loss that can be of soft tissue, hard tissue or both tissues. This tissue loss can range from minimal to extensive tissue loss and the result can be impairment of oral function and compromise in quality of life. In management of orofacial trauma, various factors such as defect site, extent age among other factors are considered. There are variety of prosthetic replacement option depending on site of defect and these ranges from removable denture, fixed prosthesis, dental implants, obturators, nasal prosthesis, orbital prosthesis and auricular prosthesis. The advent of three-dimensional (3D) technologies has enabled the design and manufacture of prosthesis using computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software that has helped in realization of treatment goals. | |
