More.The demand for advanced cosmetics needed for remodeling to enhance beauty and fashion is on the increase in modern times. Also, some of the major parts of the human head that bring about great discomfort in the human body if not put in proper conditions are the teeth, nose, ears, and eyes. Among these parts, the teeth are highly susceptible to serious attack and damage at various stages of life. To date, pleasurable feeding would be practically impossible for humans without the aid of teeth that are responsible for cutting and chewing. However, as with other parts of the human body, there are always issues affecting the maxillofacial prosthesis and teeth, which are usually the result of aging, accidents, or diseases. These issues influence the rising need for the replacement of maxillofacial and dental bones with different materials that are developed to meet the structural and biocompatibility needs. Facial and dental implantations have brought about many modifications to human appearance in recent times. The implants are expected to be safe and acceptable to the body system as the patient grows since growth is crucial to human existence. As, growth is a function of the age group in human beings and, the three major age groups respond to growth at different rates. Thus, this review considers the influence of the human age group on maxillofacial and dental implants. The review provides an insight to the demand from each age group and the necessary guides on the selection of appropriate biomaterials as well as future expectations for maxillofacial and dental bones. This is essential because adequate knowledge of the age group of the patients who need maxillofacial and dental bones demands accurate prescriptions.
