Do literary study of the role and function of the prosthesis in overcoming or restoring function stomatognathic system cannot function optimally. There is a variety of lost body parts due to illness or accident requiring abnormalities restoration or rehabilitation with artificial materials. To overcome this thing, there are a variety of prosthesis, the dental prosthesis, maxillofacial prosthesis, and supporting prosthesis (ancillary prosthesis). The analysis focused on overcoming tooth loss causes shortening jaw arch and various maxillofacial abnormalities using compatible materials, a variety of complications and their consequences. Data showed that the loss of the system's structure can disrupt stomatognathic masticatory function, esthetics, phonetics, swallowing and breathing. Installation of a removable prosthesis, partial or full will improve the efficiency of mastication and chewing ability, a greater increase in fixed prostheses and implants. Esthetic and satisfaction very disturbed due to missing front tooth with a large variation of subjectivity for the age group, social, cultural, regional and state. Generally, patients are less affected by the phonetic compared to mastication. Although not fully, function prosthesis can replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue, and keep tissue health of the stomatognathic system. It was concluded that prosthesis can help, restore and maintain function of stomatognathic system, namely the mastication, esthetics, phonetics, swallowing and breathing.
