Defects of maxilla are seen as a consequence of various congenital and acquired factors. Surgical removal of neoplastic tissue in the maxilla inevitably results in maxillary defect which can compromise various functions such as deglutition and speech. The prosthetic diagnosis and management in such condition should start in the pre-surgical phase with the help of diagnostic models and mock preparations after thorough consultation with the oral surgeon.
