Orthopedic rehabilitation of a patient after total resection of the maxilla (clinical case)

Extensive surgical interventions are accompanied by the formation of defects in the maxillofacial area, which raises serious concerns regarding the functional, cosmetic, and social rehabilitation of patients. This article, using a clinical case as an example, describes the stages of rehabilitation of a female patient with a postoperative total maxillary defect through the use of a complete removable denture with an obturator. The use of orthopedic rehabilitation methods for patients after maxillary resection enables positive results in restoring lost functions of the dentoalveolar system, facilitating better adaptation of such patients in society and allowing them to return to an active life.
