Abstract

Maxillofacial defects compromise the appearance of patients and results in various psychological problems. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the benefits of appropriately rehabilitating surgical resection of ameloblastoma with aggregate treatment protocol for enhancing patient esthetics and function capabilities. In the present case, surgical removal of part of the palate and most of the teeth made the labial and buccal mucosa more stretched and fibrous, thus compromising retention and stability of denture. With few teeth left in one quadrant, direct retention from them deteriorates their health, so the magnets were used which offered definitive advantage of retention without excessive deleterious stress acting on the abutments. As resection resulted in mid facial loss, reinforcing lip for esthetics with conventional denture adds excessive weight; to overcome, this hollowness was incorporated in the anterior segment of the denture. Reinforcement of thin metal mesh was done as denture opposes natural teeth in the mandible
