• Abstract: Introduction: Maxillofacial prostheses are artificial structures used to rehabilitate head and neck losses. With the use of digital technologies in dentistry, different materials, techniques and clinical approaches have been used for the manufacture of maxillofacial prostheses in order to improve the efficiency of efficient methods. Objective: To address the digital technologies used in the planning of oral and maxillofacial prostheses, their impacts on clinical management and on the quality of life of rehabilitated patients. Methodology: This is a literature review. The databases used were: PUBMED, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Virtual Health Library. Studies published in full, in the last 10 years, without restriction by language were included. Conference articles, editorials, letters to the editor, theses, dissertations, book chapters and incomplete texts were excluded. Results: 14 articles were selected for the review. The main technologies found were: 3D digital models using an intraoral scanner, facial scanner, 3D printing technologies and Selective Laser Fusion technology, cone-beam tomography and CAD-CAM, digital reconstruction and reproducible silicone mold and multiple prototypes, software mimics. making more comfortable prostheses. Allow greater predictability of results, autonomy and patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The use of digital technology in different stages of clinical management allowed for more predictability and shorter average time of facial rehabilitation, in addition to reducing the time and accessibility for the patient.
