RESUMO
The presence of an oronasal fistula presents a challenge to maxillary complete denture fabrication because leakage of air from the nasal cavity through the fistula prevents the formation of an adequate border seal. Although surgical repair or dental implants are possible solutions, these options are invasive and sometimes not feasible. This clinical report illustrates an alternative prosthetic solution by integrating a small retentive component into a maxillary complete denture.

The use of craniofacial implants to assist in retaining auricular prostheses often requires complex laboratory procedures, involving production of an accurate casting, fitting of a precious alloy bar, and the use of clips. A simplified method for the retention of an auricular prosthesis with a composite bar and magnets is described in this article.

Numerous designs for posterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures have been reported in the dental literature, but a methodical technique is still lacking. A groove, plate, and strut approach involving minimal preparation of posterior abutments to receive a resin-bonded fixed partial dentures is presented. The essential clinical and laboratory procedures are illustrated.
