Abstract :

After surgical excision of the tumors, sitting at the level of the middle facial stage and in case reconstruction is not started, is complicated by a defect which can be isolated at the extra oral or intraoral level, as one can have a communication between the two defects, which will complicate prosthetic rehabilitation. Challenge of prosthesis is a restoration of aesthetics, function and improving quality of life of patients. The case study aims to show the utility of the maxillofacial stage rehabilitation, allowing restoration of the facial stages after an extensive maxillectomy resulting in a loss of intra oral substance communicating with the nasal fossae and projecting to the facial level by so-called extra-oral mutilations. Through a clinical case, we describe the contribution of prosthetic rehabilitation in the management of combined intraoral and extraoral defects. Prosthetic rehabilitation allows restoring esthetics, functioning and improving quality of life. In addition, removable character of restoration allows control of site of lesion. On the other hand, prosthesis has drawbacks such as difficult maintenance and need to take prosthesis every two years because of biodegradability of silicones and wear of magnetic attachments.Maxillofacial prosthesis is not only a complementary solution to surgery but a real therapeutic possibility makes it possible to solve the problems of the defects of large extent.
