ABSTRACT
The removal of cancerigenous tissue by maxillectomy causes the junction of the nasal and oral cavities, difficulting speech, chewing and swallowing; enabling undesired fluid exchange; and producing abashing facial deformities. In order to overcome these defects is required the creation of custom, modified and hard to build prosthetics; such as the design for a hybrid retention prosthetic obturator (swing-lock).
