Abstract
This case is presented of a 67 year-old male patient, who underwent a left maxillectomy procedure including an orbital exenteration and a histological diagnosis of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. A surgical maxillary obturator was constructed, with subsequent monitoring and intraoral rehabilitation to enable the patient to use a transitional obturator and a facial prosthesis with physical and chemical retention. Eyeglasses were used with the only objective of camouflaging the facial prosthesis.
