Reviving Functionality and Quality of Life: Patient Centric Prosthodontic Management for Flap Failure in Head and Neck Oncology using Interim Obturators - A Case Series

ABSTRACT This case series delves into the realm of prosthodontic strategies aimed at revitalizing patient comfort, functional capabilities, and overall quality of life in cases of flap failure within the domain of head and neck oncology. Through the analysis of clinical cases, this poster underscores the effectiveness of prosthodontic strategies integrating obturators for mitigating the consequences of flap failure. By effectively harnessing prosthodontic strategies involving obturators, patients can experience not only functional restoration but also a renewed sense of well-being in the aftermath of flap failure following head and neck oncology procedures. Key words: flap, obturator, quality of life.
