Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Nasomaxillary Defect Utilizing a two-Component Prosthesis: a Clinical Report.

Nasomaxillary defects may affect patients' speech, mastication, swallowing, breathing, quality of life, psychology, and social behavior. A combination of surgical reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation is frequently required to restore optimal function and esthetics. Of particular concern are the size, weight and contour of the prosthesis, as they can drastically affect comfort, retention, masticatory function and ease of insertion and removal. This clinical case report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with a nasomaxillary defect (Aramany class VI) with a two-component prosthesis joined by magnets.
