Introduction

A facial defect caused by either traumatic injury or extirpation of neoplasm induces esthetic and functional problems for the patient. A considerable number of people each year acquire facial defects as a result of malignant disease, trauma, congenital deformity, acid injuries and burns [1].

Prosthetic treatment of a nasal defect is typically performed in conjunction with a prosthodontic procedure when the defect includes the maxilla or it passes through the palate [2]. This clinical report is to provide a simple and economic method for prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who met with an accident in a marriage and lost his mid face as well as few teeth in the maxilla. The aim of this clinical report is to rehabilitate the patient with a prosthesis so that he can resume his daily duties comfortably and confidently.
