OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was the creation of a universal epithesis fixation system that increases the reliability of its functioning in prosthetics of patients with maxillofacial defects of various genesis.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

After the surgical preparation of patients, in accordance with the indications of the underlying disease, epithesis was made from rigid silicone elastomers using CAD/CAM technologies. For the production of attachments, the VT1-0 titanium alloy common in medicine was used.

RESULTS

A universal epithesis fixation system was used for prosthetics of various parts of the patient’s face. Depending on the clinical situation and the size of the prosthetics area, an intermediate lattice plate (mesostructure) of the appropriate size and configuration was selected. Two types of attachments were used to fix epithets: magnetic with a counterpart and non-magnetic mushroom-shaped. The universal epithesis attachment system is distinguished by the possibility of using each hole of the lattice, both for attaching it to the bone structure and for installing attachments, which makes it easy to fix the lattice to residual bone fragments and center the position of the transition elements and attachments depending on the aesthetic and functional needs of the structure in whole.

CONCLUSION

The success of prosthetics largely depends on the epithesis attachment system. The proposed universal epithesis fixation system allows its use in various clinical situations and also reduces the cost of prosthetics for patients with maxillofacial defects.
