PROSTHETIC TREATMENT OF TOTAL MAXILLECTOMY: CASE REPORT

In this study, the information was given about prosthetic treatments of total maxillary resection applied to a patient. the patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma was sent to the consultant doctor by ear nose throat. models and photographs were taken before operation, surgical obturator was fabricated for the surgical area provided and the patient was fed without the need to use the nasogastric probe. hollow bulb obturator was applied to the patient within the 3 months following the operation. the lack of anatomical structures to provide adequate support and retention for prothesis in patients with total resection of maxillary is one of the biggest problems encountered during obturator prothesis fabricating.
