The Hollow Bulb Obturator Fabrication, Where do We Stand in 2017
Journal Title: Periodontics and Prosthodontics - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Maxillectomy defects can result in oroantral communication that may lead to difficulty in swallowing, deglutition, impaired speech, and not to mention the resultant facial disfigurement. The prosthodontist in addition to the surgeon of course, plays a significant role in restoration and rehabilitation of such defects, as good functional results have been reported for patients provided with obturator prostheses post surgically [1,2]. The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms de- fines an obturator as “a maxillofacial prosthesis used to close a congenital or acquired tissue opening, primarily of the hard palate and/or contiguous alveolar/soft tissue structures” [3].
