This article describes technique to make the sectional impression of the maxillectomy defect of a patient with the reduced mouth opening. The cast generated after pouring the impression is duplicated twice to fabricate the defect component and the palatal base-plate component separately. Both the components were then oriented and attached with the help of a pair of the magnets. This magnet reta...

The majority of maxillary defects can be rehabilitated with conventional simple obturator prosthesis. However, inadequate retention, stability and support may be associated with the use of an obturator. Precision attachments have been used to retain obturators for some time. The use of precision attachments in a dentate maxillectomy patient can yield significant functional improvement while mai...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is rare. It may mimic both a non-odontogenic or odontogenic tumour causing expansion and destruction of the involved bones. Histopathology is the main stay for definitive diagnosis. Treatment options vary from enucleation to hemi mandibulectomy or maxillectomy followed by reconstruction. We present a young female patient with CEOT in an attempt to create ...

The procedure is started by performing a total ethmoidectomy (or inferior/subtotal ethmoidectomy) and a wide maxillary antrostomy with standard sinus or powered instrumentation. This is followed by the resection of the entire medial wall of the maxillary sinus (including the inferior turbinate) and the inferior aspect of the middle turbinate. Subsequently, an incision is performed at the level ...
