Effects of environmental factors on maxillofacial elastomers: Part II—Report of survey

Effect of Nano Silicon Dioxide Addition on Some Properties of Heat Vulcanized Maxillofacial Silicone Elastomer

“…Since the introduction of silicone elastomer by Barnhart in 1960, it has been widely used as the material of choice for fabricating maxillofacial prosthesis because of its chemical inertness, durability, ease of manipulation and biocompatibility [3][4][5].…”

Effect of Nano Titanium Oxide Addition on Color Stability on Two Types of Maxillofacial Silicone Materials

“…For manufacturing maxillofacial prosthesis silicone elastomer has been utilized as the material of decision since the introduction of it by Barnhart in 1960, because of its chemical inertness, durability, ease of manipulation and biocompatibility (4,5,6) .…”

Influence of natural weathering on colour stability of materials used for facial prosthesis

“…The visual method did not reveal any significant colour alteration. This result demonstrated that the materials presented satisfactory colour stability and may be indicated for clinical use [15,[29][30][31][32].…”
