Abstract
Extensive bilateral midfacial defects involving the upper jaw, palate, and sinus present a formidable reconstructive challenge. A combination of total and subtotal maxillectomy is, in general, a rare surgical procedure that affects the cosmetic, functional, and psychological aspects of a patient's life. Prosthetic restoration has become the preferred method for the rehabilitation of such conditions. The use of magnets is an efficient means of providing combined prostheses with retention, quality, and stability. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a total and subtotal maxillectomy patient with a two-piece hollow bulb obturator retained with the help of magnets and a retention clasp.
