Abstract

Over time, various materials have been used to create extraoral maxillofacial prostheses. Vulcanized rubber and polyurethane elastomers have certain limitations and are not popular choices for prostheses. In contrast, silicone elastomers are most used due to their softness, flexibility, smoothness, and natural skin-like staining ability. While silicone elastomers are available in various forms, some are specifically designed for maxillofacial prosthesis rehabilitation. However, despite their advantages, silicone elastomer materials have certain limitations and may not always be the best option. Therefore, a thorough study of their properties is essential to fabricate prostheses that offer the best possible outcomes for patients.
