Clefts of the lip and palate are congenital anomalies that affect the orofacial region. Completely edentulous patients with a cleft palate present a unique challenge during complete denture fabrication. Complete dentures with an obturator and palatal extension need to be accurately fabricated to fulfill the functions of esthetics, speech, deglutition, and mastication. The case report presents the successful prosthodontic rehabilitation of a cleft palate female patient using a complete denture with a palatal obturator and pharyngeal extension. The palatal obturator extension provided good retention and stability for the maxillary denture. The patient's skill and previous experience with her old dentures played an important role in successful treatment. The patient was satisfied with dentures in terms of esthetics, chewing, swallowing, and speech.
唇腭裂是影响口面部区域的先天性畸形。腭裂的无牙患者在全口义齿制作过程中面临独特的挑战。需要精确制作带有阻塞器和腭部延伸的全口义齿，以实现美观、语音、吞咽和咀嚼功能。该病例报告展示了一名腭裂女性患者使用带有腭部阻塞器和咽部延伸的全口义齿成功进行口腔修复的过程。腭部阻塞器延伸为上颌义齿提供了良好的固位和稳定性。患者的技巧以及她使用旧义齿的先前经验在成功治疗中发挥了重要作用。患者对义齿在美观、咀嚼、吞咽和语音方面感到满意。
