ABSTRACT Successful prosthetic reconstruction of hemimaxillectomy defects is a challenging procedure that requires multidisciplinary expertize to achieve acceptable function, speech and esthetics. Rehabilitation of an acquired maxillary defect improves the quality of life for the patient as close to normal as possible. Obturation of the defect depends on its volume and position of remaining hard and soft tissues, to be utilized for retention, stability and support for the prosthesis. The prosthesis should be simple to handle, easy to maintain, biocompatible, light in weight and convenient for future adjustments. This case report describes a clinical case of subtotal maxillectomy, which was successfully rehabilitated with a hollow bulb obturator. How to cite this article Rani G, Gambhir A.

Introduction: Post-surgical maxillary defect is mostly repaired by the use of an obturator, which is often quite heavy due to the extension into the defect that is better relieved by making it hollow. Objective: To fabricate hollow bulb obturator in simple way. Case: An 85 year old man was referred from ENT department after hemimaxillectomy to remove squamous cell carcinoma, for obturator prosthesis and was treated with hollow bulb obturator prosthesis. Conclusion: The hollow bulb reduces the weight of prosthesis making is comfortable for the patient. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hren.v11i3.9656 Health Renaissance 2013;11(3):284-286
