Abstract
The fabrication and clinical application of a facial prosthesis for defects including a movable region are one of the most complicated treatments. The subject was a 63-year-old man who had a left facial skin concavity with an extensive facial and maxillary defect including the orbit after surgery for a left maxillary tumor. The mid-facial defect including the movable region was reconstructed by a two-piece facial prosthesis which could follow the movable region by dividing the amount of opening gap. This clinical report describes the method of fabricating the two-piece facial prosthesis made of a new silicone material manufactured by GC Co., Ltd. and its application to the patient. The prosthesis was successful with regard to suitability and ability to follow the movable region.
