B.Srinivasan, India
I am a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist from Pune, India - a care giver working to make prosthetic reconstruction and rehabilitation of patients with Head and Neck Defects, affordable and accessible. Head and neck defects caused due to loss of either an upper jaw, lower jaw, eye , ear or nose post cancer surgery, birth defects, or accidents lead to severe functional and physical morbidity. Most patients accept this with a fatalistic attitude and suffer from a sub-optimal quality of life. They survive the disease but are unable to cope up with the aftermath! Timely prosthetic reconstruction and multidisciplinary rehabilitation involving a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist, Speech Therapist , Nutritionist and Psychologist ensures an optimal quality of life for the patients helping them reintegrate back into society.
