Abstract
Abstract: Prosthodontic rehabilitation of congenital or acquired maxillofacial defects is always a challenging clinical scenario. These defects pose a major physiological and psychological threat not only to the patients, but to the entire family. A multidisciplinary team approach, thorough investigation, long term follow up, proper counselling and sympathetic attitude may help to bring these suffering patients back to normal life stream. Recent advancements in Dental Materials, CAD CAM and Laser Technology and Ossseo integrated Implants have revolutionized the treatment outcomes. However, Conventional Prosthodontic Principles are still the gold standards. This case reports the rehabilitation of a hemi maxillectomy patient using removable complete overdentures supported by metallic copings on the existing teeth. The difficulties encountered were to manage the bio mechanics and esthetics with the prothesis because of the facial soft tissue contractures. However, our patient was very satisfied with results and was following up all the instructions. Keywords: Mucormycosis, Hemimaxillectomy, Prosthodontic Rehabilitation
