[Possibilities and limitations for the correction of bony, dental and mucosal tissue loss in children using a maxillofacial prosthesis].
The maxillofacial prosthesis for surgical treatment of loss of bony, dental or mucosal substance in children has the advantage of allowing postponement of therapy until growth is terminated or any other favorable period. In addition, the temporary reconstitutions possible by their use often provide, apart from esthetic results, an effective action physically and mentally on the mainly labile growth.
