REHABILITATION OF MAXILLARY DEFECTS IN PARTIAL AND COMPLETE EDENTULOUS ARCHES WITH DEFINITIVE OBTURATORS-A CASE SERIES

Abstract

Rehabilitation of hemimaxillectomy patients can be challenging. The most common problem with prosthetic treatment in such patients is in getting adequate retention, stability, and support. The size and location of the defect usually influences the amount of impairment and difficulty in prosthetic rehabilitation. The obturator prosthesis is commonly used as an effective means for rehabilitating hemimaxillectomy cases. In this case series prosthetic rehabilitation of a completely edentulous and partially edentulous patients with definitive obturators have been discussed.
