Frame Designed Obturator Prosthesis In A Case Of Maxillectomy Patient

Abstract

There are a lot of clinical situations of edentulous arches as result of maxillectomy for tumors. This article presents the step-by-step procedures of a prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who had an Aramany Ist class maxillary edentulous arch, after maxillectomy. It can be concluded that because of the ever-increase in the number of partially edentulous patients undergoing partial resection of the maxilla, as well as the increase in their life expectancy after surgery, the need for metal framework design of the definitive restorations is obvious.
