Confecção e instalação de próteses buco maxilofaciais em pacientes do centro de especialidades odontológicas da Universidade do Estado do Amazonas: um relato da experiência

Abstract

About two years ago, three dental faculty members from Amazonas State University decided to create a facially maimed rehabilitation service through prosthetics. Three objectives were proposed: Community service, teaching of graduate students, and conducting research in the area. Thus far, as has been disclosed, patients have been referred from other institutions and also have also come to us spontaneously, and are then received, evaluated, and treated by the staff. As a result, we have received an average of five weekly visits of different cases and made delivery of approximately two prostheses per month because of their complexity.
