Rehabilitation of Maxillary Defect with Dyna Magnet Retained Two-Piece Obturator and Twin Table Occlusion: A Case Report

Abstract

Maxillofacial defects resulting from resection of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) can be challenging due to compromised aesthetics, speech, mastication, deglutition, and decline in the patient’s overall quality of life. Obturator prostheses are crucial in restoring essential functions.  Effective prosthetic rehabilitation, which overcomes challenges such as restricted mouth opening, compromised prosthesis retention, and restoration of oral function, is substantial for the treatment of these defects. This case report demonstrates the fabrication of an obturator using a magnet retention system with twin-table occlusion for a patient who had undergone hemimaxillectomy and hemimandibulectomy due to SCC.
