“…For definitive obturator cases, because the size of the defect areas was large in complete maxillectomy patients, a hollow obturator was fabricated, which is easy to maintain, reduces the weight of the prosthesis on the unsupported basal seat area, and allows maximum extension into the defect areas, which helps in retention, reduces air space, and prevents fluid and food collection. [ 11 12 ] Because most of the patients had microstomia post-operatively, a two-piece obturator was planned, which allows easy placement and removal of the prosthesis. However, there were some difficulties in orientating the exact position, retention, and stability of the denture (second part) over the obturator (first part); hence, magnets were used as a retentive aid because of their small compact size and strong attractive forces, which allow automatic reseating of the prosthesis by both the dentist and the patient.…”
