It is not always possible to surgically replace the tissaes of the congenilator required facial defects. In those situations, which affect the patient's sociopsychologic situations. prosthetic treatment is necessary. The conventional prosthesis producing techniques have handicaps for patients, clinicians and technicians. Aequiring the data of the patient's face using three dimensional scanning techaiques provides to shorten this process. The computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance made by rapid prototyping (RP) technique. Stereolithography in one of the RP techniques.
