Abstract:Patients who have had a partial or full surgical resection of the maxillary or mandibular lip experience difficulties with articulation of speech, swallowing, and salivary control. This is further complicated by significant alterations in facial esthetics and lowered self‐esteem. This clinical treatment will describe the fabrication of a two‐piece tooth‐retained maxillofacial prosthesis. An intraoral retentive portion and an extraoral section restoring lip anatomy were attached by retentive elements. This prosthesis restored the patient's esthetics, oral function, and self‐esteem.
Keywords:Lip prosthesis  maxillofacial prosthesis  silicone prosthesis
