Early Prosthetic Management of Maxillectomy, Hemimandibulectomy Patient with a Lateral Mid Facial Defect: A Case Report

  • Clinical Report
  • Published:
The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society

Abstract

Maxillofacial prostheses for acquired defects have become more complex and sophisticated with advances in surgical, physical, and rehabilitative dentistry, but before planning, orofacial structures must be analyzed as to the specific cause and the consequent objectives of rehabilitation. Also retention of facial prostheses is very much challenging. Hence, we are presenting the fabrication of an interim prosthesis obturator and cheek prosthesis to restore the speech, help in deglutition and prevent drooling of saliva.
