“…Various types of surgical obturators were described for the maxillary resection cases [9][10][11][13][14][15]. Reducing the obturator weight by employing hollow structures was aimed in some of these studies [16,21,23,26]. However, management of the nasal respiration tract within the obturator has not been mentioned before.…”

“…Benefits of the surgical obturators were described in several report [2][3][4]8,[11][12][13]15,19]. Dressing and the obturation of the surgical cavities have been performed with a variety of appliances and materials; including gauze pads [2,3,8], sponges [20], inflatable bulbs [21], thermoplastic materials [22,23], tissue conditioning materials [4], and elastomeric materials [24,25]. Surgical obturators have been secured to the remaining teeth with ligature wires, clasps or hinged gates [2,3,19,26,27].…”

for the preoperative preparation procedures. Radical maxillectomy operation had been planned on the right side in order to the excision of the epidermoid carcinoma originated from the maxillary sinus epithelium and filled the whole sinus. Medical history was taken. Extra oral and intra oral inspections were made and recorded. Attention was paid to the susceptible teeth exhibiting the carious lesions, endodontic impairment or mobility. Teeth surfaces were scaled. Calculi

“…Obturators have an advantage of shorte ning operating room time and eliminating flap donor side morbidity. 1 The primary role of a temporary surgical obturator is to aid in healing during recovery period and shorten longterm convalescence and rehabilitation. It supports soft tissues, thus, minimizing scar contracture, protects the wound from trauma and conta mination with food debris.…”

“…It supports soft tissues, thus, minimizing scar contracture, protects the wound from trauma and conta mination with food debris. 2 As with surgical obturator, patients are often able to tolerate a liquid diet from the first postoperative ijhns case report 1 day. 1 In this case report, we describe the use of polyvinyl siloxane material in the fabrication of temporary surgical obturator to rehabilitate surgical defect following tumor resection at the junction of hard and soft palates which passively adapts to changing palatal and velopharyngeal morphology during function.…”

Factors that affect management of surgical defects are surgical site, amount of remaining support tissue, presence of teeth and defect characteristics. When these factors are not favorable, successful prosthetic management of surgical defect becomes more challenging. Simultaneously, prosthesis should be comfortable to supporting and surrounding tissues as well as surgical defect. In the presented case, we have used soft polyvinyl siloxane material for fabrication of temporary surgical obturator to cover the surgical defect at the junction of hard and soft palates. Soft, flexible material is used for better adaptation to the changing morphology of surgical defect and also improves functions like speaking and swallowing.
