OBJECTIVE: To describe how digital technologies can compensate for potential errors during impression procedures in an older patient following maxillary cancer resection.
BACKGROUND: Maxillary defects after oncologic resection in older adults cause functional and aesthetic impairment. Rehabilitation must consider anatomical alterations, systemic conditions, and patient-related constraints that may limit surgical or implant-based options. Intraoral scanning may serve as a supplementary tool to improve the accuracy of intraoral records in such cases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 72-year-old female patient with adenoid-cystic carcinoma of the maxilla underwent left hemimaxillectomy and microvascular reconstruction. She presented with impaired mastication and microstomia. Following clinical assessment, a maxillary removable partial denture was planned and fabricated using a combined conventional-digital workflow adapted to anatomical and functional limitations.
RESULT: The prosthesis provided satisfactory retention, stability, and function, improving mastication and aesthetics. No biological or mechanical complications were observed during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Intraoral scanning can serve as a useful supplementary tool to verify and correct discrepancies in conventional impressions, particularly in older patients with anatomical and functional limitations following maxillary cancer resection.
