Preface
Oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation means that where any function or physical structure in the oral-maxillofacial region has been lost, restoration is made to the extent that patients can return to a normal social life. Even though it might be assumed that defects in the oral and maxillofacial region most commonly have their origin in congenital malformation, injury, or inflammation, defects resulting from surgical treatment for malignancy are, in fact, currently much more frequent. Recent enormous advances in reconstructive surgery have allowed the range of curable cancers to be greatly expanded; therefore, the cure rate for malignancies of the oral cavity has increased dramatically. However, under present circumstances, full use of various techniques such as pedicles or free flaps has not always led to a complete reconstruction of function. Furthermore, defect reconstruction of the hard palate or of the alveolus with dentition covered by masticatory mucosa or sites presenting complex forms, such as those involving the orbit or auricle, is difficult. Maxillofacial prosthetic techniques employing artificial forms or appliances based upon dental practice are required for such defects. Within the academic system, as reconstructive surgery and maxillofacial prosthetics developed independently, mutual exchange of information was notably minimal. However, at present when a defect involving a large field is encountered, affected areas are spread across several zones, owing to the expansion of the curable cancerous region. The simultaneous use of both surgical and dental prosthetic techniques has compelled their fusion and integration within the treatment system.
Incidentally, the Japanese Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics has a history of special development, having initiated a multidisciplinary dental academy based upon the initiative of oral and maxillofacial surgeons and prosthodontists. This undertaking has continued into the present era and is proving its worth in current practice. In future, we intend to pursue our development as an Academy of Maxillofacial Rehabilitation in response to changing patient needs. This will include all dental and relevant medical fields as well as reconstructive surgery. Since oral and maxillofacial functionality is of fundamental importance and of a complexity far beyond ordinary considerations, the rehabilitation of patients suffering defects of the parenchyma can never be easy.
Although a dedicated technological work on oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation has long been desired, particularly in Southeast Asia, which has a high incidence of oral cavity cancer, in practical terms none has been available. We, frankly speaking, feel some anxiety as to whether the present volume can fully meet that need. However, we consider that, at least, we can supply documented and illustrated information regarding current technological standards based upon the establishment of a concept of maxillofacial rehabilitation in Japan. We will be quite satisfied if this volume serves as a foundation for future international development in this field.
To provide the most widespread help to people who lose oral and maxillofacial functions and forms, who suffer due to the exigencies of war, or from diseases such as oral cancer, we would be extraordinarily happy if the present volume were to pass into the hands of the surgical team in an underprivileged hospital, an underfinanced dental college, a rural clinic, or a remote tropical dental laboratory.
It is brought to notice that the present volume was published with considerable support from a Non-Profit Organization, Asia Fight against Oral Cancer (AFOC).
