REHABILITATION OF MAXILLECTOMY CASE WİTH CONVENTIONAL RETAINED OBTURATOR PROSTHESIS: A CASE REPORT
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.
