Obturation of the partial soft palate defect
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2004A partially resected soft palate represents a more significant challenge for effective prosthodontic obturation than for complete soft palate resections. In fact, for some patients it may not be possible to prosthetically rehabilitate with partial soft palate resections, resulting in velopharyngeal dysfunction, which could include hypernasal voice ...

An interim obturator prosthesis with duplicated teeth and palate
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1984A technique for fabrication of an interim obturator has been described in which the palatal and arch form can be reproduced with relative accuracy. The duplication aids in rehabilitation of the patient, because an environment for the tongue similar to the preoperative environment may simplify speech and deglutition (Fig. 7).

Button obturator for a soft palate defect
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 19801. Make a preliminary impression in a stock rim-lock tray using irreversible hydrocolloid, and pour in dental stone (Fig. 2). The tray is extended with plastic modeling compound and sprayed with an adhesive.t 2. Adapt one thickness of baseplate wax relief to the denture-bearing surfaces of the lubricated cast. 3. Construct a custom impression tray with

Indirect retainers in soft palate obturator design
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1990Definitive framework design for the maxillofacial patient with complete maxillary dentition who has had a soft palate resection requires the use of direct and indirect retainers. It is possible to retain these prostheses, however, with only two posterior clasps and indirect retainers without clasps.

Polydimethylsiloxane button obturator for hard palate clefts
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1986A polydimethylsiloxane obturator for hard palate clefts is described. Because it is soft, the obturator uses anatomic undercuts of the nasal cavity for maximum retention and stability. The obturator covers only a small part of the palate. The material is nontoxic and noncarcinogenic.

Upper Lip Prosthesis Retained to a Palatal Obturator
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011In cases of total or partial maxillectomies, the prosthetic rehabilitation is an effective alternative to minimize the sequelae left by surgical resection. The present study reports a clinical case of a 52-year-old patient who underwent partial maxillectomy, with upper lip involvement.

Cheiloplasty associated to a palatal obturator in a preterm infant with a cleft lip and palate
Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017Preterm infants are commonly treated by non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which are associated with fewer complications than nasotracheal intubation. In preterm infants with a cleft lip and palate, this method of respiratory management is difficult or impossible to perform because of air leakage ...

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2009
A 41-year-old man with cleft palate presented with a wide dehiscence and missing teeth. Six implants had been placed for fabrication of an overdenture, which was unsatisfactory. A bar was waxed and cast for connection to the implants; precision attachments were placed laterally for retention.

A technique for obturating palatal fistulas.
The Cleft palate journal, 1985Use of nontoxic self-adhesive material is described to obturate residual hard palate fistulas. This material may be used during perceptual and aerodynamic speech assessments to evaluate speech distortion and the relative contributions of velopharyngeal port and fistula to nasal air leakage during speech.

A clinical assessment of obturator-wearing cleft palate patients
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1972Abstract An attempt was made to understand why some obturator-wearing patients can tolerate systematic pharyngeal section reductions and eventually can discard their obturators without detriment to their speech and vocal quality while others cannot. The age of the patient when treated appears to be the most important and valuable factor in achieving ...
