ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The loss of facial structures resulting from trauma, pathologies, or congenital malformations leads not only to aesthetic and functional alterations but also to profound repercussions on the mental health and quality of life of patients. The psychological impact can include low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and social isolation, negatively affecting interpersonal relationships, professional life, and general well-being. In this context, rehabilitation with maxillofacial prostheses (MPOs) emerges as an essential resource, capable of restoring body image, promoting social reintegration, and contributing to the individual' s emotional recovery. Objective: To review the scientific literature on the effects of maxillofacial prostheses on the mental health and quality of life of patients, highlighting emotional, psychological, and social aspects related to rehabilitation.
