Abstract:
This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of small maxillary lip and maxilla defects with a lip prosthesis attached to an obturator. The definitive obturator prosthesis was designed with 3 plastic ball attachments on the labial surface that provided adequate retention for the lip prosthesis. The thin margin of the lip prosthesis ensured that it adapted well to functional movements.
