“…5,6 Though many materials are available, but with the advent of silicone has brought us a material that almost meets the requirements of ideal prosthetic material as mentioned by Bulbulian. 7 This case report describes prosthetic rehabilitation of a large midfacial defect with a magnet retained combined two piece acrylic resin-silicone facial prosthesis and rehabilitation of intraoral defect with velopharyngeal prostheses.…”

Body abnormalities that compromise form, function or aesthetics can make an individual incapable of leading a relatively normal life. Facial disfigurement may occur as a result of a congenital anomaly, trauma or tumor surgery. The defects can be rehabilitated surgically or with the help of prosthesis. Many situations due to size or the location of defect or because of patient’s medical condition, surgical reconstruction is not possible. In these cases rehabilitation is done using maxillofacial prosthesis. This case report describes a complete prosthetic rehabilitation of mid face defect secondary to surgery. The intraoral maxillary defect was rehabilitated using velopharyngeal prosthesis and extraoral cheek defect was corrected using custom made two component hollow silicone prosthesis. The rehabilitation restored mastication, speech, swallowing, aesthetics as well as social and psychological status of the patient.

Maxillofacial defects and their rehabilitation are a major concern in this socially productive era. The rehabilitation of these massive defects in the oral and maxillofacial region poses a challenge to the prosthodontist in terms of selection of material, retentive aids, the adaptive capability of the patient, and cost. This case report describes the management of the midfacial defect involving the orbit, zygoma, maxilla, and their soft tissue counterparts with a removable silicone extraoral compartment and an acrylic intraoral compartment, which are retained with strong cobalt samarium magnets, an elastic loop around the occiput, and spectacles. The maxillofacial prosthesis fabricated for this patient restored the patient's facial esthetics, speech, dental articulation, lip support, mastication, and anterior maxillary seal.
