抄録

This report describes a patient who required maxillofacial prosthetic service in order to transfer to a terminal care facility. <br>In general, the indication for a patient to transfer to a terminal care unit is decided by the doctor in charge, without changing the conditions concerning the patient’s daily-use prosthesis. <br>In spite of understanding the usefulness of a maxillary defect prosthesis, our patient could not wear it because of changes in the anatomical shape of the maxillofacial defect caused by a recurrent disease, which could not be treated radically. It was known that this disease would certainly cause him to pass away in a certain number of days. The patient could control himself and express his clear will to his family as well as to his health care providers that he wished to move to a terminal care facility after having had his maxillary prosthesis revised or re-fabricated in order to ameliorate his articulation and deglutition disorder. <br>Such treatment could only be provided because the patient and his family could express their clear will, just shortly before his departure, to accept his destiny. Maxillofacial prosthetics can thus be a vital, life-supporting treatment.
