Management of Mucormycosis Resultant Hemimaxillectomy Defect from Interim Hollow Obturator to Definitive Two-Piece Magnet Retained Prosthesis - A Case Report

Abstract

In case of large surgical defects, single-piece hollow bulb obturator prosthesis may increase the height and weight of the prosthesis resulting in loss of retention and difficulty while insertion and removal of the prosthesis. In the present case, patient presented with a large hemimaxillectomy defect with restricted mouth opening. A novel strategy for rehabilitating the patient with a major palatal deformity and restricted mouth opening by fabricating two-piece prosthesis is described in this case report.
