Abstract
An existing interim obturator can be reproduced as the definitive one using digital technology, with benefits for a patient with a maxillectomy. By digitally scanning the oral condition and the existing interim obturator, a definitive obturator, including a computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured metal framework, was fabricated and delivered to a patient with an anterior maxillectomy defect by following a combined digital and conventional workflow. This technique can hasten the adaptation of the patient to the new obturator and ensure a more comfortable and safer clinical procedure.
