Purpose: To evaluate the intramucosal retention system in patients' masticatory efficiency and quality of life in this case series.
Material And Methods: A total of 3 individuals with maxillectomy were included for rehabilitation with a complete obturator prostheses with an intramucosal retention system (OPI). The complete obturator prostheses was made for 60 days, and electromyography assessments and bite force were applied before, after 30, 60, and 90 days of surgery and prostheses installation.
Article Synopsis
- - Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common and serious cancer of the salivary glands, and surgery to remove it can lead to complications that negatively impact a patient's quality of life.
- - A case study highlighted the successful rehabilitation of a 32-year-old patient post-surgery, who faced difficulties with speech and eating due to the surgical site.
- - A custom palatal stent was created in one session to protect the surgical area, improve comfort and functionality, and is presented as an affordable and useful option for various oncology patients undergoing similar procedures.

Statement Of Problem: Oral mucormycosis is uncommon in pediatric patients with hematolymphoid diseases. Prosthetic rehabilitation is challenging, and protocols are scarce in the literature.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical report and systematic literature review of case reports and case series was to describe the clinicopathologic aspects of oral mucormycosis and the interim prosthetic rehabilitation of an affected infant.
Article Synopsis
- * A 65-year-old man's oral rehabilitation was successfully performed after his maxillectomy, addressing issues of chewing, swallowing, and appearance through preprosthetic surgery and a removable prosthesis.
- * This case highlights that combining preprosthetic surgery with removable prosthetics can effectively improve both function and aesthetics for patients with oral cancer-related surgeries.
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) may cause tissue deformation in patients who have undergone oral cancer surgery requiring resection of any part of the mandible. Oral rehabilitation is a pivotal factor in the restoration of function and esthetics. The aim of this study was to report a clinical case of successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a 57-year-old woman who presented with marginal mandibulectomy and a significant reduction in maximal mouth opening after treatment for XP.

This study describes a clinical case of successful nasal prosthetic rehabilitation using digital technology and additive manufacturing. Initially, the 76-year-old patient, with a facial defect in the nasal region, had her face scanned with 3-dimensional scanner for laboratory planning of the prototype of a nasal prosthesis.

Concerns about the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through contaminant fluids and droplet formation during several dental procedures highly impacted dental health care, drastically reducing the number of dental practices worldwide. To monitor SARS-CoV-2 contamination in dental clinics, a longitudinal study was carried out during the return of dental practice at university.
