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 ...

A New Approach to the Use of Osseointegrated Implants in Palate Obturator
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016Osseointegrated implants are regularly used for retention and stability of maxillofacial prosthesis, especially in palatal obturator with large defects and few remaining teeth. In these cases, loads that tissues receive from a prosthesis can cause bone resorption and thus enlarge the defect.

A technique for obturating palatal fistulas.

These defects may instead be managed with a palatal obturator, which can serve to separate the oral and nasal cavities. In this report, a 7-year-old, mixed breed dog was treated with a palatal obturator, after presenting with an acquired palatal defect ...
