The prosthesis is a effective method to restore function and appearance of maxillofacial. In recent years, the studies and applications of lots of new techniques and new materials promote the development of maxillofacial prosthetics. This paper will review the current progress and use of retention techniques and materials of maxillofacial prosthesis.
