Abstract
Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Cancer is a serious chronic degenerative disease and a public health problem. Buccal cancer is 3% to 5% of all malignancies in western countries, and squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent in the head and neck. 1.2. Case report: Squamous cell carcinoma of the hard palate is relatively rare and often develops as an ulcer lesion located lateral to the midline glandular zone. The surgical intervention is the option to nearly all cancers of the buccal cavity, resulting usually large defects. 1.3. Final considerations: The reconstruction of committed anatomical structures is complex. An alternative is obturator prosthesis that has the advantage of not being an invasive technique and permit removal to facilitate local clinical examination during the monitoring of possible cancer recurrence. However, the success of rehabilitation depends on the cooperation of a multidisciplinary team.
