Prefabricated light-polymerizing plastic pattern for fabrication of cast partial framework of obturator prosthesis – A novel technique

Abstract

This case report aims to report a novel application of a prefabricated light-polymerizing plastic resin for the construction of cast partial denture (CPD) framework for the fabrication of a definitive obturator. Prefabricated light polymerizing plastic patterns have been introduced in dental labs and are used in the fabrication of CPD framework. This novel technique shows how it minimizes laboratory time and cost by removing some of the steps involved during metal-based definitive obturator fabrication. A case of maxillectomy was rehabilitated using light polymerizing plastic pattern for the fabrication of metal-based definitive obturator.
