Impressions for oculofacial prosthetics.
Primary to the development of an acceptable and functional facial prosthesis is the impression procedure. The fabrication of a facial prosthesis combines the art and science of anatomy, cosmesis, and function, to develop a nonliving substitute to replace altered, missing, or defective regions of the head and neck area. Success depends on patient's cooperation, motivation, and commitment to treatment as well as the technical and artistic scope of the facial prosthetic service.
