Abstract:
Reconstructing a cancer patient's head and neck region can be challenging for the restorative team because of the size of the defect and the tumorous condition of the remaining anatomical structures. This article presents a case that uses remaining healthy tissue, along with intraoral and extraoral devices, to deliver a sophisticated prosthetic device designed to restore physical function.
