Abstract

Maxillofacial defects can result from several reasons, including neoplasia, congenital malformations, trauma, oral infections, etc. This kind of defects can be severely debilitating to the patients. To improve the quality of life of these patients, the options include surgical reconstruction and maxillofacial prosthesis. However, surgical approaches have many inherent disadvantages and limitations. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a female patient who underwent partial rhinectomy secondary to basal cell carcinoma. The case was planned with a silicone prosthesis with anatomic and spectacle retention. A non-surgical method of rehabilitation was followed owing to the patient’s choice and financial constraints. The final prosthesis was aimed at enhancing the esthetics and function of the patient, thereby improving her quality of life.
