Produktbeschreibung
This book delves into the critical concept of retention in the field of maxillofacial prosthetics, a branch of prosthodontics dedicated to restoring facial and cranial defects caused by trauma, disease, or congenital anomalies. Retention-defined as the ability of a prosthesis to resist dislodgement-is fundamental to the success of any prosthetic rehabilitation, directly influencing patient comfort, function, and confidence.The text explores various retention strategies for extraoral and intraoral maxillofacial prostheses, including anatomical, mechanical, adhesive, and implant-retained methods. It highlights the unique challenges associated with facial prostheses due to limited undercuts, mobility of surrounding tissues, and aesthetic demands. Special emphasis is placed on the use of osseointegrated implants, which have revolutionized retention possibilities, especially in cases where conventional means fall short.Drawing from clinical experience and recent advancements, the bookalso covers innovative materials, digital design techniques, and interdisciplinary approaches that enhance retention outcomes.
