Maxillofacial defects created by the surgical resection of a tumor negatively impact the mastication, phonation, swallowing, and psychological function of patients. A 68-year-old woman received a diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma involving the hard palate. The hemimaxillectomy procedure for tumor resection created a defect on the left side of the palate. This case report describes the patient's cancer treatment from presurgical planning to final rehabilitation with a conventional obturator and subsequent follow-up care for 1 year. The rehabilitation strategy was satisfactory for the patient, reestablishing lost function and esthetics.
