Abstract
There are several treatment options available to restore function and appearance in patients with combined mid-facial defects. Owing to the size of the defect and the associated size and weight of the prostheses, adequate retention can be challenging to achieve. Retention of a facial prosthesis can be improved using several techniques, such as medical grade adhesives, attachments, or osseo-integrated implants. For patients with a history of radiotherapy, surgical rehabilitation may be less favourable than non-surgical approaches owing to the risk of osteoradionecrosis and a reduced blood supply in the surgical fields. This clinical case report highlights the conservative rehabilitation of a combined mid-facial defect using a magnet-retained intra-oral and extra-oral prosthesis.
