Intraoral maxillofacial prostheses are dental devices that restore oral function and aesthetics for patients with defects in the maxilla, mandible, palate, or soft tissues due to surgery, trauma, or congenital conditions like cleft palate. Key types include obturators (sealing palatal defects to aid speech/swallowing), palatal lift prostheses (improving velopharyngeal closure), mandibular resection prostheses (restoring jaw function), and specialized devices like tongue prostheses or radiation shields.

Intraoral maxillofacial prostheses are dental devices that restore oral function and aesthetics for patients with defects in the maxilla, mandible, palate, or soft tissues due to surgery, trauma, or congenital conditions like cleft palate. Key types include obturators (sealing palatal defects to aid speech/swallowing), palatal lift prostheses (improving velopharyngeal closure), mandibular resection prostheses (restoring jaw function), and specialized devices like tongue prostheses or radiation shields. They are vital when surgical reconstruction isn't feasible, enhancing mastication, speech, and self-esteem. Fabrication uses conventional impressions or digital workflows with intraoral scanners, CBCT, CAD, and 3D printing for precision. Materials like acrylics or PEEK ensure durability; implants improve retention. Benefits include improved quality of life, but challenges involve retention, irritation, and maintenance. Digital advancements promise lighter, precise prostheses, with future potential in biocompatible materials. Maxillofacial prosthodontists collaborate with multidisciplinary teams for holistic care.
