Rehabilitation Of Post Covid Maxillary Defect Using A Modified Hollow Bulb Obturator-A Case Report

Rehabilitation of maxillofacial defects is an arduous task that involves restoring the form and function of the resected part of the defect. Obturators are the preferred choice of treatment for patients after surgical resection of the diseased part especially in the Oral and Ora-Antral region. Rehabilitation aims to separate the oral and nasal cavity and maintain anatomy while also assisting the patient with mastication, maintaining occlusion, facial tissues, and re-establishing speech and esthetics. This case report depicts how a hollow bulb obturator was used to treat a partial maxillectomy patient which helped in restoring form, function and esthetics for patient.
