“…The excision of oral and maxillofacial abnormalities or infections has a significant impact on the patient’s social, psychological and mental health 17 18. As there was insufficient bone to place dental or zygomatic implants to support a prosthesis, a patient-specific subperiosteal implant was designed.…”

Restoring the maxillary resection defect involving the alveolar process, the hard and soft palate and the paranasal sinuses in terms of phonetics, mastication and deglutition is more challenging, especially with young patients with aesthetic concerns.This case report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a young patient with a unilateral subtotal maxillectomy due to post-COVID-19 mucormycosis. A patient-specific subperiosteal implant was planned to rehabilitate the patient’s bony defect. Using postsurgical CT, a customised subperiosteal titanium framework was fabricated by the direct metal laser sintering method using grade IV titanium alloy. The fabricated framework was implanted over the patient’s zygomatic anatomic contour. Three months later, the patient-specific implant was unveiled to the oral cavity, an open-tray impression was made and the fixed implant prosthesis was fabricated.This case report opens a new realm of rehabilitation for severely compromised maxillary bony defects and impaired oral functioning with no other viable conventional reconstruction options.

Maxillofacial abnormalities are the most deleterious to a person's self-esteem and quality of life. Restoration of speech, deglutition, and masticatory functions as well as achieving a normal orofacial appearance are the main objectives of rehabilitation of maxillofacial defects. Any prosthesis can be held in place by anatomical, mechanical, chemical, or surgical anchorage, depending on the clinical scenario. Various methods of retention have evolved over a period of time. Osseointegrated implants have been employed to enhance the retention of facial prosthesis, in the last 20 years. The prosthodontist should be familiar with all the available options, to opt for the appropriate retentive method, while planning for the prosthetic rehabilitation for the patient. In all cases of maxillofacial deformities, optimal outcomes could be a challenging task to accomplish, but careful evaluation, clinical decision-making, and planning can result in prosthesis of acceptable quality that might enhance the patient's quality of life.

The facial region defects caused by trauma, accident, tumor or congenital defects are treated with special facial prostheses. Retention is one of the most important factors that determines the success of a maxillofacial prosthesis. Retention has always been a problem in prosthodontics other than esthetics. Increased retention improves comfort as well as the confidence in the patient while wearing a facial prosthesis at work and in social settings thereby improving the long-term prognosis of the prosthesis. In the present article, the methods used for the retention of prostheses from past to present were researched, and the advantages of the retention procedures and the most commonly used current methods, were evaluated. The article describes different types of retentive aids in maxillofacial prosthesis.
