Restoration of Facial Defects with Digital Technology is a comprehensive guide that provides global descriptions of various methods for creating maxillofacial prostheses. It enables readers to project, design, and manufacture these prostheses, as well as customize maxillofacial surgery. The book also explores the use of CAD-CAM technology to reduce the cost and time involved in making facial prostheses.

The complete workflow for producing ear, nasal, and oculofacial prostheses (implant and mechanically supported) is described in detail. The atlas format of the book allows readers to follow each procedure step-by-step, reproducing the process and achieving improved results compared to analogic procedures.

This book serves as a valuable resource for maxillofacial rehabilitation, communicating the most updated knowledge and methodologies of digital technology applied to this field. It is designed to be accessible to a wide audience, including informatics technicians and biomedical engineers, who can utilize it as a guide for replicating the presented methodologies.

The book offers numerous benefits, including:

Informing anaplastologists about new methodologies using digital technology instead of analogic procedures.

Enabling hygienists to accomplish unusual hygiene procedures for craniofacial implants.

Providing prosthetic alternative solutions for patients who have lost ear, nose, or facial parts due to oncologic or traumatic reasons.

Simplifying plastic reconstructive surgery and module based on the final prosthetic rehabilitation supported by craniofacial implants.

The book has been written by experts in the field, drawing information from disparate sources to create a comprehensive reference. It is an invaluable resource for professionals, researchers, and students interested in maxillofacial rehabilitation and digital technology.
