Background: Cleft palate leads to oroantral communication and also malformations of the palate and agenese of teeth adjacent to the defect. Abnormal defect closure was done by replacing the hard, soft tissues and missing teeth using an intraoral maxillofacial prosthesis called obturator. Purpose: Assess the use of prosthetic rehabilitation using frame obturator combination with acrylic resin on patient’s palatum defect to restore esthetic, speech, swallowing, mastication functions.Case: 23 years old male patient with chief complaint palatum defect that cause nasal voice. Intraoral examination revealed a large palate defect in the right of palatum durum segment, also defect on left labial gingiva, and missing teeth in 13, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 35, 36, 45, 46.Case Management: Obturator was made to cover defect of palate and replace missing teeth. Impression was taken with hydrocoloid irreversible and gauze that cover the defect to avoid alginate entering nasal cavity. Insertion of obturator showed cleft palate was covered well by frame combination with acrylic resin base. The retention, stabilization and occlusion were good, nasal voice was reduced, defect on left labial gingiva were covered by labial wing.Discussion: Patient was satisfed because nasal voice was reduced, estethic,mastication and swallowing function were restored, also. Patient can clean and use obturator easily.Conclusion: Frame obturator in patient’s palate defect can reduce nasal voice, restore esthetic, swallowing and mastication functions.

Marginal mandibulectomy involves resection of mandibular body with overlying soft tissues while maintaining inferior cortex of mandible and its continuity. It may lead to numerous problems associated with mastication, speech and deglutition and esthetics. Problems associated with such defect depend upon location and extent of surgical resection. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patient poses challenges because of obliterated vestibular depth, inadequate denture bearing areas for support, lesser number of remaining teeth. This article describes rehabilitation of patient who underwent anterior segmental mandibulectomy with cast partial removable denture to replace the missing teeth and maintain esthetics.

Patients with acquired defects or congenital malformations of the palate exhibit disturbances in speech including hypernasality, nasal emission and decreased intelligibility of speech. Maxillofacial prosthesis is an art and science which not only replaces the lost structure but also sometimes restores the function.obturator is a prosthesis which closes the palate and pharyngeal defects and improving the speech and other function. This article presents a case report of a completely edentulous patient with palatal insufficiency rehabilitated prosthodontically with a hollow bulb obturator and a procedure for fabrication of closed hollow bulb obturator prosthesis.

ABSTRACT Maxillary necrosis can occur due to bacterial infections such as osteomyelitis, viral infections, such as herpes zoster or fungal infections, such as mucormycosis, aspergillosis etc. Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly infects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla is involved, surgical resection and debridement of the necrosed areas can result in extensive maxillary defects. The clinician is to face many a challenge in order to replace not only the missing teeth, but also the lost soft tissues and bone, including hard palate and alveolar ridges. The prosthesis (Obturator) lacks a bony base and the lost structures of the posterior palatal seal area compromise retention of the prosthesis. Furthermore, the post surgical soft tissues are scarred and tense, which exert strong dislodging forces. The present article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary necrosis secondary to mucormycosis in two cases, one completely edentulous and the other partially edentulous.

Patients with unrepaired cleft palate defects still exist within remote rural areas. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult edentulous cleft patient could be very demanding for treating maxillofacial prosthodontist, since most of them are edentulous, challenging the retention and the stability of the maxillary prosthesis. It is therefore highly important that cleft palate patients seek dental and prosthodontic care as early in their life as possible. In this report, an unusual case of a patient self-obturated cleft palate defect is presented. The patient’s self-made prosthesis was replaced by an appropriately fabricated pharyngeal obturator prosthesis in order to improve speech and swallowing.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this clinical report is to present a description of the prosthetic rehabilitation of a bilateral complete maxillectomy patient using a two piece magnetically connected prosthesis. Background A complete bilateral maxillectomy defect presents a considerable reconstructive challenge for the prosthodontist. It results in devastating effects on cosmetic, functional, and psychological aspects of the patient. Report A 46-year-old woman reported with a chief complaint of missing teeth in the upper jaw. Her primary concerns were a poor facial appearance, inability to chew food, and regurgitation of the food into the nasal cavity. She was diagnosed with carcinoma of the maxillary sinus, for which a bilateral maxillectomy was done followed by post surgical radiation therapy. The prosthetic treatment objectives were to separate the nasal and oral cavities, restore the mid-facial contour, and improve her masticatory functions by providing a full complement of maxillary teeth using a two-piece connected hollow obturator prosthesis connected by a magnet. Summary Insertion and removal of a large prostheses used for rehabilitation of midfacial defects requires good neuromotor coordination and an adequate mouth opening. Because these factors were problematic for this patient, the treatment plan was to fabricate a two piece magnetically connected prosthesis. After fabrication and insertion of the prosthesis, the fit between two sections was evaluated and instructions for insertion, removal, and maintenance of the obturator were given. The patient's speech, masticatory efficiency, and swallowing dramatically improved after insertion. Citation Chandra TS, Sholapurkar A, Joseph RM, Aparna IN, Pai KM.

A prótese bucomaxilofacial é uma especialidade da Odontologia que visa restaurar indivíduos com perda de estrutura na região de boca e face. Seu ensino ainda é restrito na maioria dos cursos de Odontologia no Brasil, de modo que os cirurgiões dentistas se formam sem conhecer este ramo tão bonito da reabilitação e sem o domínio de conhecimentos teóricos e técnicos sobre o assunto. Deste modo, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca da especialidade de prótese bucomaxilofacial para guiar os cirurgiões-dentistas a respeito de sua indicação, tipos, materiais utilizados e técnica de confecção.Descritores: Prótese Maxilofacial; Prótese Dentária; Reabilitação.ReferênciasAlfenas ER, Lanza CRM, Barreiros ID, Novaes Junior JB, Mendonça LL.

The aim of this case report was to evaluate the use of Partsch I cystotomy in order to preserve a dental implant located in an odontogenic cyst extended from 3.2 to 4.4. A 50 year-old woman showed a circular, well-defined unilocular radiolucent area, Ø2.5 cm, in the right mandibular region with an oral implant intruding inside it. The overdenture in the mandibular right site showed no clinical mobility. The authors decided to perform a surgical treatment aimed to preserve the implant. The patient underwent Partsch I surgery followed by iodoform gauze insertion replaced weekly for one month, revision of the previous orthograde endodontic treatments, and an acrylic resin obturator prosthesis application for the following two months. The twelve month follow-up showed no clinical mobility of the right lateral mandibular implant prostheses. Radiographical analysis revealed cystic lesion healing and perimplant bone regeneration. This report highlights the opportunity to apply cystotomy when the cyst involves a dental implant and undermines its stability. This possibility is offered by the peculiar clinical scenario where the implant was stabilized by the presence of a previous prosthetic fixation. Our study led to the application of an operative protocol that allowed for the preservation of the implant.
