Prosthetic Considerations in Oral and Maxillofacial Trauma

Abstract

ABSTRACT Intraoral trauma may occur in isolation or in combination with injury of the other parts of the body. Once the life-threatening phase of trauma is over, the primary need for the patient is to restore the form and function of the tissues lost due to trauma. In the oral and maxillofacial region, esthetic consideration does sometimes supersede the need of function. This article briefl y summarizes the scope of prosthodontics in patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma. How to cite this article Bhandari S.
