ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Rehabilitation with maxillofacial prostheses (MPOs) is a fundamental intervention for individuals who have suffered facial losses due to trauma, surgical resections, congenital malformations, or pathologies. In addition to restoring aesthetics, these prostheses play an essential role in maintaining and recovering physical health, promoting improvements in chewing, speech, swallowing, and respiratory functions—factors directly linked to nutrition, digestion, and the patient' s quality of life. Objective: To review the scientific literature on the effects of maxillofacial prosthesis rehabilitation on patients' physical health, highlighting functional and physiological benefits associated with the use of these prostheses.
