TLDR
The materials which were and are in use and the reason for their unpopularity are included to understand the major fields where the materials lack and thus needs improvement to render an individual with the best maxillo-facial prosthesis.Abstract:
There have been constant searches and researches which are taking place in the field of dental materials to best suit the ideal selection criteria to satisfy the functionality, biocompatibility, aesthetics as well as the durability as a maxillofacial material Among all the different materials, Silicone is the most popularly used, but still studies are carried out to overcome their weaknesses and to come out with a material which can be labeled as the "ideal maxillofacial prosthetic material" This article comprises the materials which were and are in use and the reason for their unpopularity It also gives us a scope to understand the major fields where the materials lack and thus needs improvement to render an individual with the best maxillo-facial prosthesisread more

Analysis of the properties of silicone rubber maxillofacial prosthetic materials
TL;DR: None of the commercially available silicone rubber materials possessed ideal properties for use as a maxillofacial prosthetic material, however, Factor II showed more favourable properties due to it's high tear strength, softness and ease of manipulation.
