Effect of calcium carbonate nanoparticles on the bonding strength of maxillofacial silicone to acrylic substrate [PDF]
Sulaimani Dental Journal, 2016 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 ...

Influences of TiO2 and SiO2 nanofillers on the hardness and surface roughness of maxillofacial silicone elastomers after two years of outdoor tropical weathering: An in vitro study. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe properties of maxillofacial silicone elastomers (MFSE) are far from ideal and still require reinforcement. The incorporation of nanofillers (NFs) at high levels still requires further investigation.
