Technique of Fabrication of Definitive Hollow Obturator for Partial Maxillectomy Patient
Patients who have undergone maxillectomy as a result of carcinoma or facial trauma have facial disfigurement, i.e., associated with long-term psychosocial effects. Prosthetic rehabilitation of such patient becomes difficult due to numerous clinical and technical problems.1 Obturator prosthesis remains the treatment of choice over surgical reconstruction due to ease of fabrication and maintainan...
متن کاملFabrication of Closed Hollow Bulb Obturator Using Thermoplastic Resin Material
Purpose. Closed hollow bulb obturators are used for the rehabilitation of postmaxillectomy patients. However, the time consuming process, complexity of fabrication, water leakage, and discoloration are notable disadvantages of this technique. This paper describes a clinical report of fabricating closed hollow bulb obturator using a single flask and one time processing method for an acquired max...
متن کاملClosed hollow bulb obturator--one-step fabrication: a clinical report.
A method is described for the fabrication of a closed hollow bulb obturator prosthesis using a hard thermoforming splint material and heat-cured acrylic resin. The technique allowed the thickness of the thermoformed bulb to be optimized for weight reduction, while the autopolymerized seal area was covered in heat-cured acrylic resin, thus eliminating potential leakage and discoloration. This te...
متن کاملA hollow definitive obturator fabrication technique for management of partial maxillectomy
Maxillary obturator prosthesis is the most frequent treatment option for management of partial or total maxillectomy. Heavy weight of the obturators is often a dislocating factor. Hollowing the prosthesis to reduce its weight is the well established fact. The alternate technique to hollow-out the prosthesis has been described in this article which is a variation of previously described processi...
متن کاملFabrication of a hollow bulb prosthesis for the rehabilitation of an acquired total maxillectomy defect.
The prosthodontic rehabilitation of maxillary defects is a challenging and demanding task which requires careful pre-surgical and post-surgical planning. Maxillary defects can be congenital or acquired. Acquired defects include those following trauma or surgical treatment of benign or malignant neoplasms. A prosthodontist encounters problems such as absence of support, poor retention, and lack ...
