Palatal Obturator Prosthesis for Oro-Antral Communication Patient: A Case Report
Keywords:
Oro-antral communication, ObturatorAbstract
Surgical treatment for palatal cancer result in oro-antral communication, which impairs in speech, swallowing, chewing, breathing and reducing their quality of life especially in cases with large communication. Placement of an obturator is one of the methods available to reconstruct the maxilla after trauma or surgical resection of a tumor. Management of OAC with obturator shows several advantages as it prevents any food or saliva accumulation, cost effective and patient minimizes surgical reconstruction. This paper reported a 45-year-old woman presented with ill-fitting palatal obturator with a broken clasp. Intra-oral examination showed OAC following adenoid cystic carcinoma surgery. Palatal obturator was management of choice in this patient. The result was satisfying, the patient could function very well and gain more confident.
Key words: Obturator, Oro-antral communication
