fa Rehabilitation of a partial nasal defect with facial prosthesis: a case report پروتزهای دندانی Prothtodontics پژوهشي Research Malignancies of the midface result in cosmetic deformities that make maxillofacial prosthesis as an integral part of the treatment plan. Facial defects can be devastating in their impact on physical structure and function of the affected individual, leading to potentional compromises in quality of life. Reconstruction of nasal defects is a challenge for the prosthodontist because of esthetic and retention problems associated with the facial prosthesis. This paper reports the rehabilitation of a partial nasal defect caused by basal cell carcinoma treatment using a nasal prosthesis made with silicone elastomers and mechanical and anatomical retentive aids. The patient had no problem with the prosthesis, except for a partial loss of extrinsic coloration in the two-year follow-up.<hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><b>Source: </b>Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><a href="http://dentistry.tbzmed.ac.ir/joddd/index.php/joddd/article/view/1088" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Basal cell carcinoma, maxillofacial prosthesis, midface defects, nasal prosthesis, silicone prosthesis 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-3303&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Ramin Negahdari 100319475328460015211 100319475328460015211 No Dental and Periodontal Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran /Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Tabriz University of Medical Science, Tabriz, Iran Alireza Pournasrollah 100319475328460015212 100319475328460015212 No Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Tabriz University of Medical Science, Tabriz, Iran Sepideh Bohluli 100319475328460015213 100319475328460015213 No Department of Oral Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry, Tabriz University of Medical Science, Tabriz, Iran Alireza Sighari Deljavan Alireza_Sigharydeljavan@yahoo.com 100319475328460015214 100319475328460015214 Yes Faculty of Dentistry, Tabriz University of Medical Science, Tabriz, Iran
