Provisional restorations in maxillofacial prosthetics.
A variety of provisional prostheses for the maxillofacial prosthetic patient have been described. Each patient is different, and the prosthesis chosen will vary with the severity and type of defect acquired by that patient. Psychological, functional, and physiologic factors are prime in the immediate treatment of such patients.
