RESTORATION OF A POST-SURGICAL DEFECT BY MAGNETIC MAXILLOFACIAL PROSTHESIS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Edentulous patient with an intra-oral and extra-oral defect suffers from both functional loss and psychological distress. Magnets give a successful approach to rehabilitate the oral functions and improve the quality of life. This case report describes a simple method of fabricating a two part magnetic maxillofacial prosthesis.
