AbstractOne of the most common problems following otoplasty is that the bandage applied at the time of surgery slips prematurely, falling over the patient's eyes and thereby requiring replacement.We present a simple technique which prevents this from occurring.

A surgical obturator prosthesis is commonly used as an effective means for rehabilitating patient with hemi-maxillectomy defect. The obturator supports the soft tissues after surgery and minimizes the contraction of scar and disfigurement thereby making a positive effect on patient’s overall function and psychology. The goal of prosthodontics to restore missing orofacial structures for improving facial esthetics and oral function for such patients. The inability to achieve adequate retention, stability, support and comfort due to the friability of healing tissues are the common problems associated with prosthetic treatment in the initial phase of treatment. This case report demonstrates a simple technique to overcome such difficulties by the use of soft lining materials in the delayed surgical obturator.

The authors present a simple and effective technique to achieve arthrodesis of the hallucal interphalangeal joint. Stabilization is achieved by external fixation with crossing Kirschner wires joined together to create a single functional unit, a technique that avoids common problems often associated with Kirschner-wire fixation. The authors propose that this simple technique be considered for patients in whom it has been determined that screw fixation should not be used to obtain fusion of the interphalangeal joint.

AbstractMost common problems faced by a patient with resected maxilla are reduced retention, support, and stability. A successful prosthesis should meet the physiological, psychological, and aesthetic needs of the patient. This article describes the procedure for the rehabilitation of hemimaxillectomy patient with one-piece hollow obturator using simple technique, reducing laboratory time.
