Abstract

 The defect of the jaws and face can be because of numerous reasons which includes acquired or congenital deformities or  any pathology. In demand of complete removal of the lesion, surgical management often results in communication of the oral and nasal cavity leading to problems like regurgitation of food, hypernasal speech, compromised esthetics and poor deglutition. The advances in surgical management along with the prosthetic rehabilitation can help us to overcome this problem with the reconstruction of the affected area. During the initial phase, placement of surgical or interim obturators can help to improve the outcome of definitive prosthesis. The present article focuses on a patient with partial maxilectomy, rehabilated with the delayed surgical and interim obturator.
