Effect of calcium carbonate nanoparticles on the bonding strength of maxillofacial silicone to acrylic substrate [PDF]
The clinical life of a maxillofacial prosthesis averages about six months before it needs to be re-fabricated. Most of maxillofacial prosthesis attached to the acrylic resin via adhesive primers detached and have to be re-attached every few months ...

Wettability of silicone rubber maxillofacial prosthetic materials
Statement of problem. Maxillofacial prosthetic materials that contact skin or mucosa should have good wettability. A material that is easily wetted will form a superior lubricating layer between the supporting tissues and, thus, reduce friction and ...
