Abstract
Abstract- Factors that affect the management of maxillary defects are the presence of teeth amount of remaining support area and defect characteristics. When these factors are not favorable and negatively impact the treatment outcome then successful prosthetic management of the defect becomes more challenging. For good prognosis sufficient retention of the prosthesis is a prerequisite. Simultaneously the prosthesis should be comfortable to the supporting and surrounding tissues which have undergone surgery. Moreover these tissues exposed to oral environment are not used to it. So the material used to fabricate prosthesis should be a flexible acrylic which is softer and more friendly to these tissues. This presentation describes a method of fabricating a obturator with a material called Lucitone FRSFlexible resin system Dentsply U.S.A for a patient with acquired maxillary defect following surgery. Flexible material was used to improve retentive quality of the prosthesis along with convenience and comfort of the patient.
