ABSTRACT
Introduction: before the triumph of the Revolution, the services of oral and maxillofacial prostheses were virtually nonexistent in Cuba. Currently in the province of Ciego de Ávila there are no bucomaxillofacial rehabilitation services, so that patients requiring the use of prostheses receive care at the Center for Rehabilitation of the Face and Bucomaxillofacial Prosthesis in Villa Clara province.Objective: to lay the foundation –based on its social repercussion– of the need to create the Provincial Service for Rehabilitation of the Face and Bucomaxillofacial Prosthesis in Ciego de Ávila.
Method: the bibliography on the subject was reviewed for the last five years; from the selected articles the foundation was elaborated.
Development: screening through active search carried out in 2010-2014 revealed that of 534 patients with buccomaxillofacial defects in the province, only 356 were rehabilitated; the majority (70%) of the 178 non-rehabilitated patients had various difficulties to travel to Villa Clara, due to the expenses involved with frequent trips accompanied by a relative.
Conclusions: the creation of this service in the province would facilitate to the patients the access to the rehabilitation in less time and without personal economic affectation, the exploitation of the potential of the service to treat patients from other countries would enable the recovery of investment, the professionals of the specialty would accede to a field of new research and would be imparted in the province the modules suppressed of the curricular plan of the subject Bucomaxillofacial Prosthesis in Technology in Prosthetics and Stomatological career.
