Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Continuous Maxillary and Orbital Defect

Abstract

ABSTRACT Orbital exenteration along with hemimaxillectomy for malignant tumor of maxilla usually results in continuous orbital and maxillary defect. A removable maxillofacial prosthesis with adequate retention and stability during functional movement along with good esthetics is the key for successful rehabilitation of such patients. This case report describes a novel and yet cost-effective method for retention of silicone orbital prosthesis using acrylic resin base attached to maxillary obturator using pin and socket of an electric plug which results in better retention of both the prosthesis.
