Resumo: The specialty of Buccomaxillofacial Prosthesis is responsible for the rehabilitation of facial extraoral and intraoral losses or malformations caused by trauma, pathologies or developmental disorders, that cannot be repaired surgically.
This clinical case concerns a 61-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the soft palate region, who underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for malignant neoplasm ablation, resulting in significant speech alteration and difficulty swallowing.
After removing all pre-RT dental elements, total upper and lower prostheses were made. Since the prosthesis had good adaptation and satisfactory occlusion, an adjustment was planned to obturate the upper oropharyngeal region. This allowed an improvement in the patient´s speech and swallowing, thereby restoring his quality of life and enabling better social interaction and reintegration.
