Materials presently used for maxillofacial prosthetics are improved
and adequate, but not ideal. If a material has adequate strength
and durability, it frequently is too hard or lacking in processing
characteristics. Attempts to modify materials to improve
undesirable characteristic have resulted in a decrease of desirable
properties. Therefore it appears that, a single "ideal" facial
prosthetic material is yet not available. Research directed towards
the development of a composite prosthesis constructed of two or
more materials laminated and bonded together, each having its own
"ideal" characteristics, could possibly best simulate the nature
while restoring the defect.
