Case in brief

A patient who underwent commando surgery and partial maxillectomy for squamous cell carcinoma presented with significant facial defects, oral incompetence, and discomfort. To address these issues, a custom facial shield prosthesis was created, providing passive support and protection to the reconstructed area. The prosthesis improved patient comfort and adaptation, facilitating healing during the postoperative period.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Maxillofacial prosthetic management can significantly aid in the recovery of patients with extensive facial defects post-oncologic surgery, enhancing comfort and protecting reconstructed tissues.
