A Simplified Method of Constructing an Open Hollow Bulb Using Tissue Conditioning Material for Maxillary Defect in Complete Edentulous Patient
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Maxillary resection in completely edentulous arch gives a challenging condition for an obturator to achieve maximum seal and retention. But one of the major concerns of the prosthesis is it often get heavy and bulbous part could not reach at the greater extent of the defect. As a result functional outcome would be less. Various techniques are employed in fabrication of this complex prosthesis depending on configuration of the defect. Dental Technique: To solve this issue in the current report we have outlined a reliable easy and fast technique to fabricate an open bulb from a finished denture with tissue conditioning material by functional impression technique.
