Résumé
Maxillofacial trauma refers to any injury to the face or jaw caused by physical force, trauma, the presence of foreign objects, animal or human bites, and burns. Facial defects can be devastating in their impact on physical structure and function of the affected individual, leading to potential compromises in quality of life. Restoration of facial defects, especially nasal defects, is a difficult challenge for both the surgeon and the prosthodontist. Here is a case report of partial nasal defect caused by trauma, rehabilitated with a magnetic nasal prosthesis made with silicone elastomers using mechanical and anatomical retentive aids.

Feller e Hendrix em 1964, fizeram uma revisäo clínica e anátomo-patológica de sessenta pacientes que morreram após queimaduras, encontrando-se em 53% dos casos problemas respiratórios como causa primária.
