This study introduces a novel technique for taking accurate impressions of maxillectomy defects, even with limited space caused by trismus. This method improves prosthetic rehabilitation for patients with complex oral defects.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Maxillectomy defects present challenges for prosthetic rehabilitation.
  • Trismus, or limited jaw opening, further complicates impression procedures.
  • Accurate impressions are crucial for fabricating well-fitting obturators and prostheses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an effective technique for obtaining impressions of maxillectomy defects.
  • To address the difficulties encountered with limited interarch space due to trismus.
  • To enhance the success of prosthetic rehabilitation following maxillectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a modified impression technique tailored for maxillectomy defects.
  • Adaptation of materials and procedures to accommodate trismus.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical application and evaluation of the technique's efficacy.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful withdrawal of impressions from defects, irrespective of space limitations.
    • Demonstration of the technique's ability to capture critical defect details.
    • Positive feedback on the ease of use and accuracy of the method.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented technique effectively overcomes challenges in impression taking for maxillectomy defects with trismus.
    • This approach facilitates the fabrication of functional and esthetic obturators.
    • Improved patient outcomes in prosthetic rehabilitation are anticipated.
