Abstract

An improvement of prognosis after tumour therapy as well as a rather high number of multiple traumas in the craniofacial area imply a high treatment need for craniofacial tissue defects. For a successful rehabilitation of these individuals, reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics must collaborate closely and synergistically. Besides medical and psychological findings, functional and esthetical aspects need to be taken into account. In this case report the prosthetic reconstruction of a patient with a tooth-supported telescopic defect prosthesis in the maxilla and with a multiple-unit implant-supported fixed prosthesis plus two full ceramic crowns in the mandible is shown. The prosthetic solution was indicated after maxillofacial reconstruction due to the consequence of a suicide attempt.
