Abstract
Obturator prosthesis is required for the restoration of speech, deglutition, and improvement of esthetics in patient after maxillectomy. The presence of oral tumors necessitates the surgical removal of all or part of the maxilla, leaving the patient with a defect that compromises the integrity and function of the oral cavity. The maxillofacial Prosthodontist, as a member of the surgical team, plays an important role in the recovery and rehabilitation of maxillectomy patient by fabricating and placing a surgical obturator. This clinical report describes the use of definitive hollow bulb obturator with cast partial denture framework for the treatment of a 65-year-oldpatient with hemimaxillectomy. This technique will improve the speech, mastication, swallowing and esthetics for the patient.
