Abstract

Maxillectomy defects can lead to oroantral communication, causing difficulties with chewing, swallowing, speech, and facial appearance. Prosthodontists play a crucial role in rehabilitating such defects using obturators. This case report presents the fabrication of a definitive obturator with a cast metal framework for a patient who had an acquired maxillary defect and previously experienced issues with an ill-fitting obturator. In this clinical report, the patient's canine teeth on both sides and the premolars and molars on the left side were used for rest placement. Retention was achieved by utilizing the remaining teeth, employing two embrasure Aker clasps on the left molars and premolars and a C-wrought wire clasp on the right canine. A complete palate was designed as the major connector to ensure optimal load distribution to the surrounding tissues. Additionally, an indirect retainer was planned for the right canine. This definitive prosthesis rehabilitated the patient, improving masticatory efficiency, enhancing speech clarity, and improving quality of life.
