Retention of the Facial Prostheses

Skin adhesives are used for this purpose. Hatamleh et al. [21] reported that adhesives commonly retained orbital (48%) and nasal (45%) prostheses. Contrarily, they are not advised for large defects, especially for intraoral integrated midfacials [10]. 

Hecker [10] stated that the skin adhesives might be precluded because of the presence of persistent moisture and saliva.
