An Implant Supported Obturator for Hemi-maxillectomy Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Objective: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is 1% among all head and neck malignancies, 10% among all salivary gland malignancies, the most common 6-7 decade. It is seen in women more frequently and often in the head and neck parts.Nowadays,the main treatment of ACC is surgery. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a patient with an implant-supported obturator following maxillary hemi-section due to adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC). Case: The 67-year-old female patient applied to our clinic for prosthetic rehabilitation. The patient had previously undergone right hemi-maxillectomy for adenoid cystic carcinoma in another center. Implant supported obturator treatment was planned for the patient. A total of six implants were placed, four in the maxilla and two in the mandible. After the implant osseointegration was completed, an obturator which was supported by the dental implants was applied. The patient has been followed up for four year. During this period, many time implants failed. New implants were placed instead of them. The obturator has not been completely renewed, it has been adjusted twice by making changes in it. The patient still uses her implant supported obturator even after four years. Conclusion: Implant supported obturators are a good option for the treatment of such resective surgeries. They rehabilitate the patient’s lost functions such as speech and chewing well.
