Abstract

ABSTRACT

Maxillary resection performed for removal of the tumor
mass, leads to esthetic, phonetic, functional and important psychological problems
for the patient. The primary aim of prosthetic
rehabilitation is to close the maxillary defect and eliminate such problems by use of different bulb
designs. An obturator is a
treatment option for the defects after maxillary tumor surgery. In this
article, rehabilitation with hollow bulb obturator prosthesis was explained for
a patient subjected to maxillary resection because of tumor mass.

Keywords: Maxillary defect, obturator, hollow bulb, prosthetic rehabilitation

MAKSİLLER
REZEKSİYONUN GELENEKSEL TUTUCULU OBTURATÖR İLE REHABİLİTASYONU: VAKA RAPORU

ÖZ

Tümör kitlesini ortadan kaldırmak için yapılan
maksiler rezeksiyon hastalar için estetik, fonetik, işlevsel ve önemli
psikolojik sorunlara yol açar. Protetik rehabilitasyonun öncelikli amacı farklı
bulb dizaynlarını kullanarak maksiller defekti ve buna bağlı bazı problemleri
ortadan kaldırmaktır. Obturatörler, maksiller tümör cerrahisi sonrası oluşan
defektler için bir tedavi yöntemidir. Bu makalede, tümör kitlesi nedeniyle
maksiller rezeksiyon yapılan bir hastanın hollow bulb obturatör protez ile
rehabilitasyon anlatılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Maksiller defekt, obturatör, hollow bulb,
protetik rehabilitasyon

Keywords

Maxillary defect, obturator, hollow bulb
