Abstract
Maxillary resection results in a discontinuity of the oral nasal and maxillary sinus cavities. Defect of any extent results in significant disabilities experienced by the patient. This may be manifested as difficulties in speech, mastication and esthetics.Prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of a palatal obturator is usually required to cover the defect and restore normal functions. In the cases of edentulous patients application of anobturator becomes even more cumbersome as the mechanism of retention is compromised.Achieving peripheral seal is questionable. In the present case, palatal defect is rehabilitated with silicone relined hollow bulb obturator. The portrayed obturator reduces the redundant load on the supporting tissue and provides a functional solution to the compromised state of the patient.
