Abstract:

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 maxillary defect. Hard thermoplastic resin sheet has been used for the fabrication of hollow bulb part of the obturator.Method.After fabrication of master cast conventionally, bulb and lid part of the defect

Abstract:

Patients with maxillectomy face problems with speech, swallowing, chewing and appearance. These defects are prosthetically rehabilitated with obturators that prevent oronasal communication, restoring function and social reintegration. An obturator must be light-weight, tight, easy to make and low cost. This article describes a simplified technique for fabrication of an acrylic hollow bulb obturator in two pieces using single flask. The prosthesis is made entirely of heat cure acrylic resin. The two parts of the obturator are sealed with the self-curing resin.

ABSTRACT Preservation of remaining structures is a primary goal of prosthetic rehabilitation. Continuously applied stresses on the remaining tissues from a large, heavy obturator jeopardize the health of the tissues, compromise the function of the prosthesis and affect patient comfort. Various techniques have been described for hollowing the bulb of an obturator after processing to reduce its weight; however, access to the inner aspects of the bulb is limited, preventing adequate control of thickness of the walls.

Abstract:

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 technique permits the obturator prosthesis to be processed to completion from the wax trial denture without additional laboratory investing, flasking, and processing.

Maxillary defects occur due to surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors, congenital malformation, and trauma. Prosthetic rehabilitation in such patients is influenced by the size and location of the defect. The most common of all intraoral defects are seen in the maxilla, in the form of an opening into the maxillary sinus and nasopharynx. These defects create disabilities in speech, deglutition, and mastication. The prosthesis which closes such an opening and recreates the functional separation of the oral cavity and sinus and nasal cavities is referred to as an obturator. Numerous te

Abstract:

Total maxillectomy is the complete resection of one of the two maxillae or resection to the midline. Surgical intervention creates communication between the oral cavity, nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. Postsurgical maxillary defects predispose the patient to hypernasal speech, leakage of food bolus and liquids into the nasal cavity, impaired mastication and various degrees of cosmetic deformities. Prosthodontic rehabilitation with obturator prosthesis restores the missing structures and acts as a barrier between the communications among the various cavities. Hollow bulb obturator with the ma

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Successful prosthetic reconstruction of hemimaxillectomy defects is a challenging procedure that requires multidisciplinary expertize to achieve acceptable function, speech and esthetics. Rehabilitation of an acquired maxillary defect improves the quality of life for the patient as close to normal as possible. Obturation of the defect depends on its volume and position of remaining hard and soft tissues, to be utilized for retention, stability and support for the prosthesis. The prosthesis should be simple to handle, easy to maintain, biocompatible, light in weight and convenient for

Abstract:

The role of a prosthodontist is not only to rehabilitate the intra-oral and extra-oral structures but also to bestow with mastication, speech, deglutition, and esthetics. Preservation of what exists is more important than meticulous replacement of what is missing . Cu-Sil denture is a removable prosthesis which has holes lined by silicone material that accommodates one or few remaining teeth in dental arch. Retaining natural teeth preserves the bone, enhances retention and patient comfort is enhanced. Anatomical defects in oral cavity are rehabilitated using obturators. Hollow obturators benef

Abstract:

Background: Oral rehabilitation through prosthetic management after cancer resection is a conservative and effective modality in improving patients’ oral health-related quality of life. However, it is challenging to obtain sufficient retention for hemimaxillectomy and edentulous cases without the use of Osseo-integrated implants. Purpose: This case aims to explain the oral rehabilitation management of post-hemimaxillectomy for edentulous patients using a hollow bulb obturator and long-term soft liner. Case: A 63-year-old female presented to the Universiti Malaya postgraduate dental clinic and

Abstract:

Ameloblastoma often occurs in the mandibular area, but 15 - 20% of ameloblastoma originates from the maxilla. Ameloblastoma lesions in the maxilla can be treated with partial maxillectomy, which produces defects that alter speech, swallowing function, and aesthetic. The role of prosthodontics is needed to rehabilitate the patient’s condition by fabricating an obturator that helps reduce the morbidity of patients. The main problem with the rehabilitation of substantial defects in the maxilla is the weight of the prosthesis, resulting in non-retentive prosthesis. The purpose of this case report
