    Area of Science:

    • Prosthodontics
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Complete dentures are essential for patients with edentulism.
    • Obturators are used to restore function and aesthetics in cases of maxillofacial defects.
    • Silicone rubber offers biocompatibility and flexibility for prosthetic applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a philosophy and technique for preparing removable silicone rubber obturators.
    • To describe methods for constructing obturators for both large and small defects.
    • To elaborate on the advantages of silicone rubber obturator-denture combinations.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique for fabricating removable silicone rubber obturators was developed.
    • Two distinct construction methods were employed based on defect size (large vs. small).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The obturators were integrated with complete dentures.

    • Main Results:

    • A practical philosophy and technique for silicone rubber obturator preparation were established.
    • The described methods allow for tailored construction based on defect dimensions.
    • The combination of silicone obturators with complete dentures demonstrated specific advantages.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented technique provides a viable method for fabricating removable silicone rubber obturators.
    • The choice of construction method effectively addresses varying defect sizes.
    • Silicone rubber obturator-denture prostheses offer significant benefits in patient care.
