Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Lateral Midfacial Defect Combined with Hemimandibulectomy using Multiple/Sectional Prosthesis

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.

ABSTRACT Midfacial defects developed due to partial or total maxillectomy surgeries performed to remove tumors in the oral or nasal cavity. Large midfacial defects usually restored with a facial prosthesis to restore esthetics, form and function. Retention of a large facial prosthesis is a major concern to the prosthodontist because of its size and weight. This clinical report describes magnet retained intraoral-extraoral combination prosthesis for a large midfacial defect. This article also describes a technique to fabricate a hollow light-weight acrylic resin framework supporting an overlying silicone layer for the facial prosthesis.
