Abstract
ABSTRACT Patient A 21-year-old female patient was diagnosed with intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma on the left side of maxilla, which was planned for subtotal maxillectomy involving the left maxillary sinus. Discussion Prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with maxillectomy is a challenge as it involves restoring speech, deglutition, mastication and respiration. This clinical report describes a comprehensive prosthodontic management of a young girl treated for a subtotal maxillectomy due to intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The prosthodontic manage- ment that was carried out right from the surgical obturator to a definitive prosthesis with a two-piece closed hollow bulb, magnet-retained obturator shows the ease and simplicity in the management of a case with subtotal maxillectomy. Conclusion Subtotal maxillectomy defects represent a complex challenge for the maxillofacial prosthodontist. The comprehensive technique described in this clinical report can be employed in any similar case. How to cite this article Sundar MK, Kumar GPS, Lakhanpal S.
