Abstract

Functional rehabilitation of fully edentulous maxillary defects is always regarded as a prosthodontic challenge. Surgical augmentation does not always offer value addition in the functional treatment outcome. This article describes the maxillofacial prosthodontic treatment of an edentulous patient who received an abdominus microvascular free flap surgical augmentation of a large acquired maxillary defect.
