Purpose To assess the biocompatibility of platinum silicone elastomer A‐2000 used in
combined maxillofacial defects prosthesis, after being deteriorated by an accelerated aging …

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of three maxillofacial
silicone elastomers at 24, 48, and 72 h on L‐929 cells and to determine the effect of …

Maxillofacial prostheses are essential for restoring natural appearance and function in
individuals with defects in the head and neck regions. Thixotropic agents, as liquid additives …

Purpose This systematic review aims to identify and interpret results of studies that
evaluated the changes in the physical properties of maxillofacial prosthetic materials (1) …

Objectives: This study evaluated & compared the effect of both outdoor weathering and
accelerated aging conditions on the color stability of two different maxillofacial silicone …

Introduction: Understanding the effect of aging and different disinfecting agents on the
physical properties of pigmented maxillofacial silicones may help eliminate the current …

Results: All tested materials exhibited a dose-and timedependent cytotoxicity. Higher doses
and longer exposure times resulted in reduced cell survival, as was shown by the SRB …

Background The inherent colour change in maxillofacial silicone elastomers becomes
perceptible 6–12 months after fabrication. Determining the factors that accelerate the …

Statement of problem Maxillofacial prostheses made of silicone elastomers undergo
undesirable color degradation over time. How this color change can be prevented is …

The use of a wide variety of materials in the construction of maxillofacial prostheses makes
biocompatibility testing a necessity. However, the dental literature contains few reports of …
