This study details a versatile surgical obturator prosthesis for dentate patients, utilizing a swinglock concept for easy transition during recovery. This approach simplifies obturator management, potentially delaying interim fabrication for better healing outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Surgical Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Post-surgical defects in dentate patients require specialized obturator prostheses.
  • Existing obturator fabrication methods can be time-consuming and may not adapt to early recovery needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fabrication of a stable and versatile surgical obturator prosthesis.
  • To present a swinglock-based design facilitating early transition in patient recovery.
  • To offer a method that may allow for delayed interim obturator fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a wrought wire and acrylic resin prosthesis.
  • Application of the swinglock concept for prosthesis retention and removal.
  • Design allows for transition from wire-retained to removable obturation.

Main Results:

  • The described prosthesis is stable and versatile for dentate patients.
  • The swinglock mechanism enables a simple transition during early recovery.
  • The prosthesis design supports delayed interim obturator fabrication if needed.

Conclusions:

  • The swinglock surgical obturator prosthesis offers a stable and adaptable solution for dentate patients.
  • This approach simplifies the transition to removable obturation, aiding patient recovery.
  • Practitioners can consider delaying interim obturator fabrication, optimizing patient healing and potentially transitioning directly to definitive prostheses.
