Cette dernière peut être de plusieurs étiologies, cancéreuse, traumatique, acquise, infectieuse ou encore génétique. Quelques que soit la cause, la réhabilitation doit être faite après consultation pluridisciplinaire du cas dans son ensemble, plusieurs prothèses existent, amovibles, fixes, implanto-retenues ou dento-portées. Les moyens de rétention sont eux aussi multiples, auparavant le moyen le plus utilisé était l’adhésif, de nos jours les implants dentaires sont le moyen de rétention le plus stable. La prothèse maxillo-faciale fait partie du groupe de prothèse du corps humain, elle peut être externe (épithèse de nez ou du pavillon de l’oreille) ou même interne avec une plaque en titane pour remplacer l’os perdu après hémi-mandibulectomie.
