As one side of the face loses the crucial support from the maxilla, innovative customized treatment options become the choice of rehabilitation. Ideally, such treatment should be preceded by consultation with a prosthodontist which unfortunately most of the times is not the case. Rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients is not possible without incorporating the dynamics of facial expression. This article discusses a patient having undergone maxillectomy who was successfully rehabilitated with an obturator that had an additional lip/cheek plumper incorporated in its design. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/2/10/1/ajmcr-2-10-1.pdf carcinoma sarcoma facial disfigurement cast partial denture
