Prosthetic Rehabilitation of an Acquired Maxillary Defect with Definitive Obturator Prosthesis- a Clinical Technique.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;29(2):100-2.

Resection of maxilla creates oro-nasal communication which gravely compromises different functions like speech, swallowing, mastication and esthetics. Reconstruction of the maxillary defect generally require a multidisciplinary approach, but prosthodontic rehabilitation is the most practical, convenient and cost-effective mode of treatment along with the added advantage of oncological surveillance. This clinical technique describes a method of prosthodontic management of an Aramany`s class II type of maxillary defect with a definitive obturator prosthesis having a cast partial framework for a patient who underwent maxillary resection one year back as treatment for Pleomorphic adenoma.
