Wide defects of the maxilla due to maxillary malignant tumors cause functional and esthetic disorders. To treat these disorders we designed a maxillary obturator prosthesis and an orbital epithesis using osseointegrated implants.
In conclusion, osseointegrated implants were useful for the maxillary obturator prothesis and orbital epithesis in a patient with a wide defect of the maxilla associated with orbital exenteration. As the patient had previously undergone irradiation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to induce osseointegration done pre-and post-operatively to facilitate fixture installation.
