Abstract
This clinical report details the rehabilitation of a patient who underwent a total
rhinectomy, subsequent adjuvant radiation therapy, and eventual prosthetic rehabilitation
but then developed an empirically diagnosed medical adhesive intolerance. With the
aid of digital planning and real time navigation, 2 zygomatic implants were placed
by using a flapless surgical approach followed by early delivery of an interim prosthesis.
In spite of the failure of 1 craniofacial implant, definitive restoration was accomplished
by using a titanium bar, double magnetic attachments, and a new silicone prosthesis.
