Maxillofacial reconstruction is a very demanding job and requires proper skills and thorough treatment planning. An insight into a variety of reconstructive options and their outcomes must be considered before choosing a particular treatment modality. Although no material is ideal, the reconstructive material and implant should be nonimmunogenic, nontoxic, cost-effective, easily tailored and biocompatible.
Case Presentation: We present a case series and would like to share our experience of four patients who presented with facial deformities during a period from May 2014 to June 2016 and received silicone Maxillofacial implants successfully.
Conclusions: Silicone materials showed promising results with excellent tissue compatibility, ease of handling, patient comfort, good esthetics and relatively less morbid procedure. No single case has shown tissue irritation and infection. Silicone maxillofacial implants show great promise as another weapon in the reconstructive surgery.
