Abstract

Background and aim: Studies have assessed these issues by investigating physical properties, bonding, and color steadiness in simulated environmental conditions like quickened artificial daylight radiation and outdoor weathering. According to importance of subject the aim of present Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis was Evaluation outcome of physical properties of maxillofacial prosthetic materials. Method: MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, ISI, google scholar were used as electronic databases to perform a systematic literature between 2010 to February 2020. A commercially available software program (Endnote X9) was used for electronic title management. Searches were performed with keywords, “aging”, “weathering”,” maxillofacial””,” “physical properties”, “mechanical properties” ““silicone elastomers”, “facial”. The present systematic review was performed based on the main consideration of PRISMA Statement-Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis. Result: A total of 127 potentially relevant titles and abstracts were found during the electronic and manual search. Finally, a total of 13 publications fulfilled the inclusion criteria required for this systematic review. The meta-analysis showed a odds ratio of 0.03 (95% CI: 0.03– 0.09) (figure2) and The random effects model was used for the analysis, heterogeneity found (I2 = 17.9%; p = 0.301) (figure2). There was no statistically significant difference between outdoor weathering and natural/artificial/accelerated aging on the tensile strength properties of specific maxillofacial silicone elastomers. Conclusion: Single “ideal” maxillofacial prosthetic material that can give sufficient resistance against distinctive aging conditions is yet, to be distinguished. © 2020, Advanced Scientific Research.
