Orofacial defects can be either congenital or acquired. Rehabilitation of these patients can be done using a surgical and/or a prosthetic approach. In situations where surgical reconstruction is not possible, prosthetic management becomes the only option. This clinical report describes a simple, economical, and effective technique for the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with oro-cutaneous fistula due to donor site dehiscence following tumor defect reconstruction.
