  • Title: Implant-supported and magnet-retained oral-nasal combination prosthesis in a patient with a total rhinectomy and partial maxillectomy due to cancer: A clinical report.
    Author: Won AM, Montgomery P, Aponte-Wesson R, Chambers M.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2017 Feb; 117(2):315-320. PubMed ID: 27666495.
    Abstract:
    This clinical report describes the fabrication of an implant-supported and magnet-retained combination oral-nasal prosthesis for a patient with a midline midfacial defect. The patient had undergone a total rhinectomy and partial maxillectomy as part of his cancer treatment. The nasal prosthesis was retained on the face by a magnet attached to the implant-supported maxillary denture, resulting in improved appearance and the recovery of speech, mastication, and swallowing functions.
