Abstract
This clinical report describes the successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a deficient lower lip in an edentulous patient who had undergone surgery for removal of a squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior floor of the mouth and vestibule. The rehabilitation used a combined approach of an extraoral lip prosthesis joined by 3 magnets to an intraoral implant-retained mandibular resection prosthesis. The outcome demonstrated rehabilitation of the lower third of the face by eliminating loss of fluids and by improving the facial profile, lip contour and competence, esthetics, the patient's eating ability, speech intelligibility, and reported quality of life.

Abstract
This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of small maxillary lip and maxilla defects with a lip prosthesis attached to an obturator. The definitive obturator prosthesis was designed with 3 plastic ball attachments on the labial surface that provided adequate retention for the lip prosthesis. The thin margin of the lip prosthesis ensured that it adapted well to functional movements.
