Abstract:
Many materials have been used to make immediate and intermediate obturator prostheses for the hemimaxillectomy patient. The weight of the obturator prosthesis is a major hindrance. A new thermoplastic material, Polysar, is described to create a hollow obturator extension for immediate and intermediate lightweight obturator prostheses.
