    Area of Science:

    • Maxillofacial prosthetics
    • Biomaterials science
    • Dental technology

    Background:

    • Residual palatal defects pose challenges in maxillofacial reconstruction.
    • Traditional prostheses may lack optimal stability, retention, or weight balance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel maxillofacial prosthesis design utilizing combined flexible and rigid extensions.
    • To enhance prosthesis performance by maximizing the use of remaining patient anatomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Designing a maxillofacial prosthesis incorporating both flexible and rigid extension components.
    • Evaluating the prosthesis for stability, retention, weight, and obturation capabilities.

    Main Results:

    • The combined extensions provide enhanced stability and retention for the prosthesis.
