This clinical report describes a comprehensive prosthodontic treatment of a young patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in hard palate. The treatment procedures included surgical removal of the tumor, immediate surgical plate and interim obturator. The surgical plate and interim prosthesis were fabricated using conventional polymethyl methacrylate resin material with retention derived from wrought wire clasps to the remaining natural teeth. The follow-up system revealed satisfactory results with no deterioration in the prosthesis.
