Fabricating a hollow obturator with visible light-cured resin system.

Obturators are routinely used in the rehabilitation of maxillectomy defects. Ideally, obturators should be easily constructed to produce a comfortable and stable prosthesis. This article describes a technique that provides an easy method for the construction of an obturator prosthesis using a visible light-cured (VLC) resin. As a result, technicians can easily construct obturators in little time; this would, in turn, provide patients with light, comfortable, and tolerable prostheses.
