Prosthetic rehabilitation for patient with hemi-maxillectomy: Obturator combined with a hybrid telescopic double crown using friction pin

When oral cancer develops in the maxilla, oro-nasal communication occurs after surgical treatment including removal of the primary site. Restoration through an obturator is necessary to prevent food from storing due to non-oral opening, and to ensure proper pronunciation and aesthetic restoration. In this case, the patient was treated with right hemi-maxillectomy due to oral cancer and has residual abutment and poor periodontal support due to the effect of head and neck radiotherapy. The obturator was treated with a hybrid telescopic double crown denture. Reporting a successful prognosis in 18 months of follow-up.
