Abstract

ABSTRACT:
This case report deals with a rehabilitation of a patient with an extensive maxillary defect using a two-piece intra oral prosthesis obturating the defect. Retention of first piece was achieved by snug fit of the prosthesis to underlying tissue and adjacent teeth whereas the second piece was retained with the help of magnets. The rehabilitation procedure resulted in improved function, aesthetics, comfort and confidence to the patient thus enabling him to have improved quality of life. This case report briefly describes the quick and simple lab method of positioning the retention magnets in maxillary obturator, in the rehabilitation of deformed patients.
