The primary prosthetic objectives for marginal mandibulectomy defects are to restore mastication, speech and appearance by replacement of teeth. With marginal resection of mandible followed by reconstruction with submental flap, the major prosthesis concern is related to soft tissue potential for support due to loss of vertical ridge height, loss of vestibular depth, mobility and displaceability of the flap that frequently unseats the prosthesis. This article describes prosthetic rehabilitation with a cast partial denture for missing teeth and restoring function for a patient who had undergone wide lesion excision of verrucous carcinoma with marginal mandibulectomy.

“…In this, an oncosurgeon/oral and maxillofacial surgeon, psychologist, ENT specialist, speech therapist, plastic surgeon, orthodontist, and prosthodontist plays a vital role. 7 Various framework designs were used for various authors ranging from direct extension of cast metal framework in the defect area, 8,9 use of a hinge at the distal end of prosthesis 10 and use of wire extension in zigzag manner. 11 In this case, a 21 gauge orthodontic wire was soldered to the distal end of the metal framework and extending to the defect area which provides adequate strength as well as the flexibility to the distal end so that prosthesis acts an integral part of the soft palate during different functional movements.…”

Soft palate is a part of the palate composed of muscles and mucous membrane. It divides oropharynx from the nasopharynx. Soft palate along with lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls create a three-dimensional muscular valve which is known as velopharyngeal (VP) sphincter. This VP sphincter allows normal breathing and prevents regurgitation of food and fluids in the nasal cavity. It is also required in other functions such as swallowing, blowing, sucking, whistling and sneezing. Any defect in the soft palate, i.e., structurally or neurologically will lead to VP defect due to which normal functions were impaired. Pharyngeal obturator prosthesis restores the congenital and acquired defects of the soft palate and allows adequate closure of palatopharyngeal sphincter. In the present case report, a male patient suffering from pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate was operated leading to VP insufficiency. This patient was rehabilitated by pharyngeal obturator prosthesis for the improvement of quality of life of the patient.
