“…This obturator has a metal framework, which acts as the palate and supports the teeth and a closed hollow bulb. [16] [20] The retention of the antral part of the obturator is achieved with the help of resilient liners. The use of a resilient liner is a simplified rehabilitative treatment modality, readily modified or repaired, and comparatively inexpensive.…”

“…[6] An immediate surgical obturator is the fi rst prosthesis placed and is used to minimize post-operative complications. [7] It supports soft tissue, minimizes scar contracture and disfi gurement, reproduces the anatomic integrity of the palate, improves post-operative oral hygiene and protects the surgical packing from food debris contamination.…”

Acquired maxillary defects are created by surgical removal of benign or malignant tumors, congenital malformation and by trauma. Surgery is the fi rst choice for some benign tumors, early cancers and for cancers that do not respond to radiation and chemotherapy. Surgery or trauma can result in cosmetic, functional and psychological impairment greatly aff ecting the patient's quality of life. Surgical reconstruction of the maxillary defects can be carried out either by using temporal fl ap or a wide range of microvascularized fl aps. Rehabilitation via palatal obturators to obturate a palatal defect in a dentulous or edentulous patient is one of the choices in restoring masticatory function and improving speech, deglutition and cosmetics. Rehabilitation of such patients is quiet challenging and requires a multidisciplinary team for comprehensive care and optimal post-treatment functional outcomes. Hence, it is crucial to work in close collaboration with the team members who makes the prosthesis and who evaluates the case for planning the surgical procedures and obtaining the necessary anatomical and functional information.

“…3 Prosthodontic therapy for patients with acquired surgical defects of the maxilla can be divided into three phases of treatment with each phase having different objectives. 4 The temporary obturator is constructed from the postsurgical impression cast which has an artificial palate and artificial ridge and generally has no teeth. The closed bulb extending into the defect area is hollow.…”
