 Abstract

Maxillectomy patients have a compromised maxillary denture-bearing area, which may lead to problems in rehabilitation. This can be due to a narrow, more constricted residual ridge, as well as a large defect. As a result, a heavy prosthesis compounded with poor denture-bearing ability of the tissues and reduced prosthesis retention can occur. However, reducing the weight of the maxillary prosthesis has been shown to be beneficial when constructing an obturator for the restoration of a large maxillofacial defect. Various techniques are reported in the literature. This article describes a modified technique for fabricating a hollow maxillary complete denture obturator.
