ABSTRACT Extraoral maxillofacial rehabilitation of patients with large midfacial defects has always perplexed the prosthodontist. Retention of such large facial prosthesis can be challenging due to its increased size and weight. This clinical report describes the technique of prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with large midfacial defect using a hollow light-weight intraoral-extraoral combination prosthesis utilizing rare-earth magnets as a retention tool. This prosthesis dramatically improved the function, esthetics and comfort, thus, enabling him to lead a normal life. How to cite this article Geethu RM, Anilkumar S, Rajesh C, Uniyal S.

Systemic sclerosis, although a rare disease, has numerous direct and indirect effects on the oral cavity. This article aims to inform clinicians of the signs and symptoms they may see in patients with the disease and the impact it can have on dental management. The main effect, microstomia, is not just limited to systemic sclerosis, thus the clinical and laboratory techniques described may be helpful when managing other patients with limited mouth opening. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Clinicians should be able to recognize how systemic sclerosis will have an impact on their patient's oral health and implement management plans to prevent deterioration of their dentition. The novel techniques used will provide dentists and dental technicians with alternative techniques that can be employed in a variety of cases when considering prosthetic rehabilitation.

Mutilation of a portion of a face can cause a heavy impact on the self-image and personality of an individual. Acceptable cosmetic results usually can be obtained with a facial prosthesis. This paper describes prosthetic rehabilitation of a 60-year-old male patient having a left ocular defect. A technique to fabricate heat polymerizing polymethyl methacrylate was illustrated. The resultant prosthesis was structurally durable and aesthetically acceptable with satisfactory retention. The importance of meticulous treatment planning to tackle the challenges faced in fabricating an ocular prosthesis is explained with the relevant literature.
