Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Mullerian agenesis is one of the rare female reproductive disorder, which is characterised by the aplasia or agenesis of vagina, uterus or both. Sometimes It can also be associated with renal, vertebral and to a lesser extent auditory and cardiac defects. It can be treated by both surgical and non-surgical procedures. In this case report a 14 year old girl patient of mullerian agenesis was surgically treated by plastic surgeon by creating neovagina and the patency of the newly created vagina was maintained by the use of hollow acrylic vaginal stent, fabricated by prosthodontist. Thus in association with Plastic and reconstructive surgeon, a prosthodontist can play a significant role in postoperative success of treatment by fabricating customised vaginal stents with an accurate impression which maintains the patency of a neovagina. It also reduces the discomfort of the patient as compared to prefabricated vaginal stent.
