Abstract

Hemimaxillectomy involves the removal of part of the maxilla, which can lead to complications such as speechdifficulties and asymmetry in facial appearance. The inclusion of implants in rehabilitation significantly improves the stability and retention of prosthetic devices, facilitating improved functionality. This article discusses important aspects of rehabilitation with an implant-supported obturator prosthesis in a patient who had previously undergone hemimaxillectomy for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
