Abstract
Restoration of facial defects is a difficult challenge for both the surgeon and the prosthodontist. The success obtained is determined by the type of defect, the skill of the prosthodontist and the properties of the materials. For obtaining adequate retention different methods can be used dependening on the properties of the defect region. The aim of this study is to imply the advantages of implant retained facial prosthesis versus adhesive retained prosthesis.
