Aesthetic and Functional Rehabilitation of Maxillectomy Patients: Clinical Case
Keyword(s):
The direct effects of cancer and the therapeutic sequelae have a profound impact on the patients' quality of life. The resultant loss of maxillary substance is accompanied by serious functional, aesthetic, psychological and social problems. The maxillofacial obturating prosthesis remains as a therapeutic tool that improves aesthetics and restores the various functions of chewing, swallowing and phonation. A tight collaboration between the maxillo-facial surgeon and the dentist is essential to obtain an optimal prosthesis both functionally and aesthetically, thus allowing a socio-professional reintegration of the patient.
