One of the issues in the prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillofacial defect is, to help the patient regain the normal facial appearance, to protect the region that has undergone surgical operation, to help raise self-confidence and to return to normal life in the best possible way. Therefore, the prosthetic rehabilitation should have the optimum aesthetic and functional properties and maintain them throughout its service time.Beside the defect and the incapacity of the materials used, an extra oral prosthesis can still be judged as good or bad mostly due to the harmony of its color with the surrounding tissue.Therefore, a maxillofacial prosthesis’ material must accept and retain the coloration in the best way to achieve success. There are many materials and techniques used in the coloring of facial prosthesis, and scientific studies regarding their harmony with the adjoining tissues.
