    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Prosthodontics
    • Reconstructive Dentistry

    Background:

    • Surgical resection of maxillary tumors can lead to significant maxillofacial defects.
    • These defects negatively impact patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being.
    • Surgical alterations compromise the stability and retention of remaining dental structures.

    Observation:

    • Maxillofacial defects impair the ability of residual teeth and tissues to provide cross-arch support.
    • Obturator prosthesis design is crucial for restoring function and improving esthetics.
    • A cast metal framework offers a robust solution for partial obturator fabrication.

    Findings:

    • This case report details the fabrication process for a cast metal framework partial obturator.
