Bys: Kumari, Kritika, Bung, Krishnapriya, Kumararama, Sindhu Sudhakar

With the growing number of head and neck cancers diagnosed each year, the demand for both intraoral and extra oral prosthetic rehabilitation continues to rise. Although prosthetic rehabilitation is not always considered a necessary course of treatment, but it should be noted that it is not a vanity issue; rather, it is a psychological issue that impacts more and more people throughout the world each year. To date, none of the commercially available materials satisfy all the requirements of the ideal maxillo-facial material. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. It might be a dream but the possibility of fabricating a high quality lifelike prosthesis directly on the face which requires an excellent skill of the Prosthodontist and the role of a dental material scientist who can help by providing a perfect material with improved properties and colour stable colouring agents to rehabilitate the patient with maxillo-facial defect who deserves the best we can offer.
