Evaluation of Polymeric Materials for Maxillofacial Prosthetics.

摘要

The methods for initial evaluation of a new prospective maxillofacial prosthetic material, MDX-4-4210, are described. Tensile and compressive test data were obtained. Evaluation of the data indicates that this is a promising material with significant potential for use in maxillofacial prosthetics. Further studies of the material's biologic implant compatibility, its chemical and environmental stabilities, and its clinical performance are being done.
