| dc.description.abstract | Oral cancer may affect up to 275 000 new patients per year worldwide. Many of these will be disfigured by the destruction of tissue within the face and head area. Maxillofacial prosthodontics can play a vital role in restoring such patients to a semblance of normality in appearance and function. This article will describe the role of maxillofacial prosthodontics in the treatment of these oral cancer patients. | en_US |
