Stomatologic Prosthesis In Management Of Maxillary Resection For Carcinoma Of Maxillary Antrum : A Case Report

Malignant tumours of nasal cavity and para nasal sinuses have a low incidence rate. Management of maxillary malignancies and/or surrounding structures necessitates the removal of partial or total maxilla, leaving the patient with a defect that compromises the function and integrity of the oral cavity. Stomatologic rehabilitation via palatal obturator is preferred in patients with poor prognosis or weak conditions to obtain the necessary gnathological, anatomical and functional harmony. This case report describes the clinical case of subtotal maxillectomy due to carcinoma of maxillary sinus, which was rehabilitated with obturator in unique combination to provide retention, stability and support to the prosthesis.
