Retention is a fundamental principle in maxillofacial prosthodontics, ensuring stability and functional efficiency of prostheses in patients with congenital or acquired defects. Unlike conventional prosthodontics, retention in maxillofacial rehabilitation is complicated by compromised anatomy, loss of natural undercuts, and variable tissue support. The mechanisms contributing to retention include adhesion, cohesion, atmospheric pressure, mechanical interlocking, and neuromuscular control. In addition, advanced methods such as the use of implants, magnets, precision attachments, and…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Retention is a fundamental principle in maxillofacial prosthodontics, ensuring stability and functional efficiency of prostheses in patients with congenital or acquired defects. Unlike conventional prosthodontics, retention in maxillofacial rehabilitation is complicated by compromised anatomy, loss of natural undercuts, and variable tissue support. The mechanisms contributing to retention include adhesion, cohesion, atmospheric pressure, mechanical interlocking, and neuromuscular control. In addition, advanced methods such as the use of implants, magnets, precision attachments, and biocompatible adhesives have significantly enhanced prosthesis stability. Surgical reconstruction, tissue conditioning, and digital technologies like CAD/CAM and 3D printing also aid in improving adaptation and retention. Successful rehabilitation depends on an individualized approach, carefully balancing mechanical, biological, and technological factors to restore function, esthetics, and patient quality of life.
