“…[75][76][77] This instability leads to leak from the nasal cavity and sinuses, increasing irritation and wear on the oral cavity. [77][78][79][80][81] Maxillary and midface defects have spanned the reconstructive ladder from prosthetic rehabilitation to microvascular free flap. The size and location of the defect largely dictate the most appropriate reconstruction.…”

Reconstruction of the head and neck can be a challenging undertaking owing to numerous considerations for successful rehabilitation. Although head and neck defects were once considered irretrievably morbid and associated with a poor quality of life, advances in surgical technique has immensely contributed to the well-being of these patients. However, all patients are not suitable surgical candidates and many have sought nonsurgical options for functional and cosmetic restoration. As such, the advent of prostheses has ameliorated those concerns and provided a viable alternative for select patient populations. Prosthetic reconstruction has evolved significantly over the past decade. Advances in biocompatible materials and imaging adjuncts have spurred further discovery and forward progress. A multidisciplinary approach to head and neck reconstruction focused on appropriate expectations and patient-centered goals is most successfully coordinated by a team of head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and prosthetic specialists. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the current trends for prosthetic rehabilitation of head and neck defects, and further elaborate on the limitations and advancements in the field.

“…2,3,8 A questionnaire survey of food acceptance revealed that the existence of maxillary dentition and the configuration and size of the defect were correlated with masticatory function. 9 However, few objective measures of the factors affecting masticatory performance have been undertaken, 10 leading to a lack of evidence in the rehabilitation of post-maxillectomy patients.…”

SUMMARY This clinical report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with a maxillary defect using the biofunctional prosthetic system. The Biofunctional Prosthetic System brand denture includes a comprehensive technique for impressions, record taking, tooth placement, fabrication and processing. The advantage of this technique is to provide patients with optimal form, function, and aesthetics in complete dentures. This system is based on a team effort and systematic approach to removable prosthetic treatment.
