    Abstract:
    Defects of the face are mostly due to operations of tumours of the head. In the present study, indications for epistheses are discussed and the possibilities of episthetical treatment are reported. In 54 own cases different methods of attachment for epistheses are described with special reference to the possibility of fixation with adhesives. Moreover, making of epistheses is described as well as the handling of these artificial parts by the bearer. Advantages and disadvantages of epistheses are pointed out.
