Under local anaesthesia 21 extra-oral implant were placed, facial prosthesis were individually made six month postoperatively. Follow up ranged from 6 month to 6 years.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All 21 implants osseointegrated well, implant lost and peri implantitis was not found. All 6 cases had individual facial prosthesis and were satisfied with the prosthesis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Extra oral implants provided excellent retainment for facial prosthesis; result of current silicon with individual color shade is encouragable.</p>
