Abstract

The oral and maxillofacial region is one of the main factors that constitute the human facial appearance. The mandible is located in the lower one third of the face, and it has a major impact on the appearance characteristics of the person. The facial appearance plays a major role in the human body shape, and a small change in facial appearance can cause the attention of other people. The mandibular defect occupying the lower one third of the face will cause marked facial deformity, in addition to the appearance of damages in a series of physiological functions, and the patient will suffer from diminished quality of life due to varying degrees of disfigurement. All kinds of social activities of the patient will be seriously affected, which will lead to varying degrees of psychological trauma.
