Abstract
An interim obturator prosthesis is required for the restoration of speech, deglutition, and improvement of esthetics after maxillectomy. This article describes a simple method for fabricating the interim obturator prosthesis by duplicating the patient's teeth and palate. The interim obturator prosthesis fabricated by duplication of the presurgical appearance and contour may be more acceptable to the patient.Entities:
