    • Abstract:
      Introducción. El ameloblastoma se considera una neoplasia de tipo odontogénica. Cuando su localización es en el maxilar, el tratamiento indicado es la maxilectomía. Esta extirpación de hueso maxilar, trae como secuela una comunicación oro-nasal y oro-antral, lo cual cambia el proceso fisiológico natural del sistema estomatognático. La rehabilitación protésica maxilar con defectos palatinos consiste en el uso de prótesis obturadoras palatinas que proporciona un paladar artificial, logrando una separación de cavidad nasal con cavidad oral. Caso clínico: Mujer de 78 años, con antecedente de ameloblastoma con patrones folicular y plexiforme en maxilar izquierdo. En 2017 fue intervenida quirúrgicamente con maxilectomía de infraestructura, dando como resultado defecto palatino clase II de Aramany. Dado lo anterior, se decidió rehabilitar a la paciente con un obturador palatino y prótesis total inferior. Conclusiones: La rehabilitación en pacientes con antecedentes de ameloblastoma y defectos palatinos es mediante obturadores. Es un método efectivo de restauración para recuperar funcionalidad y estética, además ayuda a recuperar la comunicación de los pacientes con la sociedad, mejorando su calidad de vida.

      Introduction. Ameloblastoma is considered an odontogenic neoplasm. When its location is in the jaw, the indicated treatment is maxillectomy. This removal of the maxillary bone results in an oro-nasal and oro-antral communication, which changes the natural physiological process of the stomatognathic system, as it leaves as. Maxillary prosthetic rehabilitation with palatal defects consists of the use of palatal obturator prostheses that provide an artificial palate, achieving a separation of the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. Case report. 78-yearold woman with a history of ameloblastoma with follicular and plexiform patterns in the left maxilla. In 2017 she underwent surgery with an infrastructural maxillectomy, resulting in an Aramany class II palatal defect.

Rehabilitation in patients with a history of ameloblastoma and palatal defects is using obturators. It is an effective restoration method to recover functionality and aesthetics, and it also helps to recover patients' communication with society, improving their quality of life.
