Cysts, a common occurrence in the jaws, are managed with different conservative and radical approaches. Although surgical excision is usually the treatment of choice, it can result in an open defect that compromises the oronasal seal and affects the patient's quality of life by interfering with daily intake of nutrition. These defects vary in anatomic geometry and extent depending upon etiology and require a prosthodontic intervention in the intermediate phase until a definitive closure is executed. An unconventional obturator design with a helical spring incorporated into a flexible obturator is described to manage 2 patients with challenging anterior maxillary cysts.
囊肿是颌骨中常见的一种病变，可通过不同的保守和激进方法进行治疗。虽然手术切除通常是首选治疗方法，但它会导致口腔和鼻腔之间的密封受损，影响患者的生活质量，因为它会干扰日常营养摄入。这些缺陷在解剖学几何形状和程度上因病因而异，需要在中间阶段进行修复干预，直到执行最终的封闭。本文介绍了一种将螺旋弹簧结合到弹性堵塞器中的非传统堵塞器设计，用于治疗 2 例具有挑战性的上颌前部囊肿患者。
