Abstract
This case report discusses about a 50 years old female who had post atrophic rhinitis saddle nose deformity. The patient was first treated by a plastic surgeon who did “Inlay nasal grafting” and after that a temporary nasal stent was given which served mainly two purposes : 1) initially it maintained the graft in position and 2) secondly it prevented contracture of the graft. Also, a gumfit removable partial denture was given for replacing upper central incisors of the patient which greatly improved her esthetics.
