Bucomaxillofacial Prosthesis (BMFP) is a specialty of Dentistry that rehabilitates patients with loss of structure in the face region. BMFP are known to be used in the rehabilitation of patients who present deformities due to congenital, traumatic or pathological etiology. Aim: In retrospect, to assess the profile of patients, as well as the features of clinical cases of rehabilitations performed at the Buccomaxillofacial Prosthesis Extension Project, at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, UFRGS. Materials and methods: from August 2017 to December 2018, 90 charts were cataloged with the following data: gender, ethnicity, age, etiology of the deformity, type of rehabilitation prosthesis, how the patient came to the Project. Results: It was concluded that white male patients were the predominant group to be benefited with prosthesis. The age gap was from 5 to 81 years. Ocular prosthesis was the most prevalent one. The pathological etiology was the one that most required rehabilitation treatment. Doctors and hospital staff were the ones who most referred patients to the Project. Discussion: The prevalence of patients attended was male, pathological etiology, aged 60 years or more, which reinforces the survival of people who are diagnosed with cancer and need oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation. Conclusion: The great demand for care in the BMFP Extension Project shows a lack of this service and little research to clarify the profile of the patient who most seeks BMFP care.
