| Abstract | |
Despite progress in maxillofacial cancer surgery, most patients present with disfiguration of their faces. A nasal prosthesis can reestablish aesthetic form and anatomic contours for midfacial defects often more effectively than can surgical reconstruction. It is not only noninvasive, but also cost effective and any local recurrence of growth can easily be supervised. This case illustrates prosthodontic rehabilitation of facial defect following surgical resection and radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. |
