Abstract

In this paper, the general indications for implantology for facial prosthesis in the maxillofacial bones are elaborated. Information from both the literature and our own surgical experience emphasizes that only specific locations of the facial bones and skull are suitable for implant fixtures. Careful indication and surgery are required for patients who were exposed to radiotherapy. The success of maxillofacial rehabilitation depends on multidisciplinary cooperation.
