Abstract

Arunkumar CS*, Brintha Jei J, Murugesan and Muthukumar B

Rehabilitation of facial disfigurement after a surgery or trauma is difficult to address as it involves individuality of the patient. Face being the visual proforma, rehabilitating it is always a challenging task. This is predominantly due to the presence of soft tissue, lack of anatomic undercut and increased muscle activity. The use of Osseo integrated implants provide the most reliable retention, however placing it on a intact facial defect further complicates rehabilitation. This case report is about rehabilitation of lost facial feature after tumour resection surgery.
