Head and neck
cancer patients have post-treatment functional disabilities that can be restored
by means of surgical reconstruction combined with oral and facial prostheses.
Members
have the opportunity to contribute and participate in ISMR Outreach Programs. Our work would include fabricating auricular prosthesis with microtia and cleft palate prostheses for unrepaired palates on children from Third World
and developing countries, in addition to orbital, nasal, mid-facial and obturator
prostheses. Volunteering your time to this healing experience can offer a lifetime of
personal accomplishment, while satisfying your quest for unique travel. The
ISMR has received and is currently seeking donations that would
provide basic supplies, equipment and transportation for "ISMR Team" for several of its upcoming
missions. Accommodations
and meals are usually provided by the host country medical center. Many of the
destinations have local dentists (usually oral and maxillofacial surgeons) and/or
laboratory technicians who are willing to learn our maxillofacial prosthetic techniques,
so that upon our departure, an ongoing service to those in need remains. 
Providing
maxillofacial prosthetics in developing and Third World countries is truly challenging and
can be a refreshing reminder of how we are privileged to have been educated in our
prospective developed countries. Many patients wait for years to be operated on and some
children go untreated. In many instances, we will provide the first exposure of maxillofacial
prosthetics in these countries. Our work, good-will and education that we provide will be
an enormous and gratifying gift to the patients in need, as well as the local dentists and
technicians. Your personal rewards will be cherished for years to come. The opportunity awaits....
