Abstract

In recent years, the method of express endoprosthetics based on the use of fast-hardening polymers, such as EGMASS-12, fluoroplast-4, polyurethanes, and acrylates, has been successfully used to correct defects in the maxillofacial region. The overreaction of the tissues surrounding the prostheses can be easily relieved by local injection of corticosteroids. At the same time, burns of the surrounding tissues are observed due to the exothermic nature of the polymerization reaction.
