  ABSTRACT: Maxillary bone loss impairs essential functions (chewing, swallowing, speech) and gives patients a very unaesthetic appearance due to the removal of facial support tissues, leading to serious psychological consequences. Treatment is multidisciplinary and requires a resective surgery if the cause is tumor-related, or an additive surgery if the cause is traumatic. This article aims to show the role of making a prosthesis to restore function (chewing, swallowing, speech) and aesthetics following maxillary bone loss. We will eighter present a clinical case involving a right maxillary tumor that was surgically resected followed by radiotherapy, and subsequently rehabilitated with a maxillofacial prosthesis in the consultation and dental treatment center of the university hospital center of Casablanca.
