...Abstract


 

Introduction: Maxillary resection opens oronasal and / or oroantral communication, which seriously complicates various functions of the orofacial system, chewing, swallowing and speech. In addition, the symmetrical and pleasant appearance of the patient, his mental state, working ability and social life are disturbed.
Case report: The manuscript shows a patient who was prosthetically repaired after a partial maxilectomy.
Conclusion: The close cooperation of a maxillofacial surgeon and a specialist in prosthodontics can result in the removal of the changes on the maxilla and the creation of an obturator denture that improves the functions of the orofacial system and the quality of life of the patient in general.

 Key words: denture obturator, maxillectomy
