Oromaxillary Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Maxillectomy Patient Using a Magnet Retained Two-Piece Hollow Bulb Definitive Obturator; A Clinical Report
Resection of a malignant lesion involving the maxilla produces severe oromaxillary defect that can seriously jeopardize the normal phonetics of the patient. These defects are effectively managed by well-designed and fabricated obturator. This paper discusses the oromaxillary prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient using a magnet retained two-piece hollow bulb definitive obturator.
متن کاملRehabilitation of apartial maxillectomy patient with silicone relined hollow bulb obturator – Case report
Maxillary resection results in a discontinuity of the oral nasal and maxillary sinus cavities. Defect of any extent results in significant disabilities experienced by the patient. This may be manifested as difficulties in speech, mastication and esthetics.Prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of a palatal obturator is usually required to cover the defect and restore normal functions. In the cas...
متن کاملHollow Bulb One Piece Maxillary Definitive Obturator - A Simplified Approach
In maxillary defects, role of a prosthodontist is to rehabilitate the intra- and extra-oral structures and to endow with the normal function of mastication, speech, deglutition, and esthetics. Malignancies are common in the oral region and are treated usually through surgical intervention. Surgical intervention creates anatomical defects creating communication between oral and nasal cavity. Pat...

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...
