ABSTRACT: Maxillofacial prostheses play a significant role in the treatment of deficiencies or abnormalities in the facial areas. These deficiencies can result from congenital conditions, developmental issues, pathologies, or traumas, leading to physical, psychological, and functional problems. The success of maxillofacial prostheses depends on the choice of appropriate materials. Silicone elastomers stand out as commonly used materials in the production of maxillofacial prostheses. This material is distinguished by its ability to provide tissue compatibility, ease of shaping, and the option for coloration. Contemporary digital technologies have greatly facilitated prosthesis design and manufacturing processes. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and three-dimensional printing (3D) technologies provide a more precise and efficient way for designing and producing maxillofacial prostheses. These advancements enable maxillofacial prostheses to be designed and manufactured more effectively in terms of aesthetics, functionality, cost, and durability. Therefore, the use of digital technologies in the field of maxillofacial prostheses holds promise for enhancing the quality of life for patients.

Dijital Yöntemler ile Maksillofasiyal Protezler: Yenilikçi Tasarım ve Üretim Yaklaşımları

Öz

ÖZET: Maksillofasiyal protezler, çene ve yüz bölgesindeki eksiklik veya bozuklukların tedavisinde önemli bir rol oynar. Bu eksiklikler, doğuştan gelen durumlar, gelişimsel sorunlar, patolojiler veya travmalar sonucu olabilir ve fiziksel, psikolojik ve fonksiyonel sorunlara neden olabilir. Maksillofasiyal protezlerin başarıları, uygun malzeme seçimine bağlıdır. Günümüzde, maksillofasiyal protezlerin üretiminde yaygın olarak kullanılan malzemeler arasında silikon elastomerler öne çıkar. Bu malzeme, doku uyumunu sağlama, kolay şekillendirme ve renklendirilebilme özellikleri ile öne çıkar. Çağdaş dijital teknolojiler, protez tasarım ve üretim süreçlerini büyük ölçüde kolaylaştırmıştır. Bilgisayar destekli tasarım (CAD), bilgisayar destekli üretim (CAM) ve üç boyutlu baskı (3D) gibi teknolojiler, maksillofasiyal protezlerin tasarım ve üretiminde daha hassas ve verimli bir yol sunar. Bu gelişmeler, maksillofasiyal protezlerin estetik, fonksiyon, maliyet ve sağlamlık açısından daha etkili bir şekilde tasarlanmasına ve üretilmesine olanak tanır. Bu nedenle, dijital teknolojilerin maksillofasiyal protez alanında kullanımı, hastaların yaşam kalitesini artırmak için umut verici bir gelişme sunmaktadır.
