Résumé
This clinical report describes the successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a deficient lower lip in an edentulous patient who had undergone surgery for removal of a squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior floor of the mouth and vestibule. The rehabilitation used a combined approach of an extraoral lip prosthesis joined by 3 magnets to an intraoral implant-retained mandibular resection prosthesis. The outcome demonstrated rehabilitation of the lower third of the face by eliminating loss of fluids and by improving the facial profile, lip contour and competence, esthetics, the patient's eating ability, speech intelligibility, and reported quality of life.
